![]() TAW View Distance ScriptbyTonic Description: This is something that was lacking for ARMA 3 (Alpha). So I have created a simple to use View Distance & Grass Settings Dialog to allow players to adjust their view distance levels. There are three types of view distance levels. - On foot: View distance set will only effect a player while they're on foot. - In Car: View distance set will only effect a player when they're in a land vehicle or ship. - In Air: View distance set will only effect a player when they're in an aircraft. - Drone: View distance while operating a UGV/UAV. - Multiple Saves for various settings And it also features 4 grass settings (None/Low/Normal/High). Installation / Usage: First drag the taw_vd folder into your mission and then in the description.ext put: #include "taw_vd\GUI.h" class CfgFunctions { #include "taw_vd\CfgFunctions.hpp" }; If CfgFunctions already exists then put #include "taw_vd\CfgFunctions.hpp" in it. Example mission provided To disable the grass Option 'None' place: tawvd_disablenone = true;To set a maximum allowed viewing distance you can put the following in your init.sqf: tawvd_maxRange = 12000; Media: Armaholic.com has its own Youtube channel where we will cover the Community made releases. Subscribe to the Armaholic.com Youtube channel Notes: Example mission provided Changelog: v1.5 Changed: Code brought up to current coding techniques & small fixes Added: Drone slider for changing the view & object settings while operating a UGV/UAV. Added: Edit Boxes (Something the addon version has had for awhile). Added: Save Manager for loading and saving various settings variations. v1.4 - Added: Ability to sync object rendering distance with view distance v1.3 - Changed: Updated GUI Resources for new patch. v1.2: - Changed: Updated the script version to be on par with the addon (updated technologies). - Added: Ability to disable the grass option 'None' v1.1 - Fixed: JIP players couldn't use the menu Forum topic: - Armaholic forums - BI forums Enable javascript to be able to download from Armaholic please! |
Great work. It would be nice to see this extended as an addon however. :)
It would be great if there was a "While using scope" slider. :)
Please make this an addon. Not every server has this, so it would be nice to join any server I want and have this View distance option available at any time
In favor of addon
Guys, the server need to provide key for such addon , so if the server wont have the key, you wont be able to use it. So no reason to make it addon.
Addon... but only because I am a lazy schlep (apologies to all you non lazy schleps).
Thanks for your awesome script =)
Thank You for this
Looks great! Would it be possible to add a keybind for the profiles or a general +/- viewdistance keybind. This would be useful when you enter/exit cities as view distance is the biggest factor for FPS. That way you could quikly change the view distance on the fly without going into the menu. This would be especially useful for pilots so that they can change the view distance when coming in for a landing and adjust viewdistane to fps.
I use this script for almost every mission I create. I have one question. I have looked in the scripts and checked online for this answer which bore no fruit. Is there a way to set the default values for the view distances? Would be useful for a mission I am making where you have to observe where a heli lands, but I am sure some people who download the mission won't set their view distance far enough and may lose the heli.
