📋 About This Mod
Makes the camera angle while aiming the crossbow more like Sword of Destiny trailer
v1. 2 - Removed lock on while aiming (not for tapfire) so that the camera movement is smoother
v1. 1 - Geralt no longer slide/rotates while aiming
Installation: Put the modCrossbowCameraChange into your Mods folder
Uninstall: Take it out of there....
Recommended to use with my other mod Sword of Destiny Igni Camera :) (self promoting, wohoo!)
Conflicts: This mod modifies the aimThrow.ws so use Scriptmerger if there are any conflicts
Customizing:
navigate yourself to: TheWitcher3WildHunt\content\content0\scripts\game\player\states\aimThrow.ws
if ( rawToCamHeadingDiff > -45 && rawToCamHeadingDiff < 45 ) { camOffsetVec. X = 0. 69f; camOffsetVec. Y = -0. 9f; camOffsetVec. Z = -0. 1f; } else if ( rawToCamHeadingDiff >= 45 && rawToCamHeadingDiff < 135 ) { camOffsetVec. X = 0. 69f; camOffsetVec. Y = -0. 9f; camOffsetVec. Z = -0. 1f; } else if ( rawToCamHeadingDiff <= -45 && rawToCamHeadingDiff > -135 ) { camOffsetVec. X = 0. 69f; camOffsetVec. Y = -0. 9f; camOffsetVec. Z = -0. 1f; } else { camOffsetVec. X = 0. 69f; camOffsetVec. Y = -0. 9f; camOffsetVec. Z = -0. 1f; } } else { camOffsetVec. X = 0. 69f; camOffsetVec. Y = -0. 9f; camOffsetVec. Z = -0. 1f; } if ( parent.rangedWeapon && parent.rangedWeapon. GetCurrentStateName() == 'State_WeaponReload' ) { camOffsetVec. X = 0. 69f; camOffsetVec. Y = -0. 9f; camOffsetVec. Z = -0. 1f; }
change the values as you want!
so, the last set of: camOffsetVec. X = 0. 69f; camOffsetVec.
