Set Perspective (Entity Action Type)

Switches a player's camera between first person and the two third person views, exactly as pressing F5 does. It does nothing to entities that aren't players.

Type ID: apoli:set_perspective

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
`perspective`	String	required	`first_person`, `third_person_back` or `third_person_front`. `third_person` is accepted for `third_person_back`.

The player can press F5 again afterwards, because this sets the view once and doesn't lock it. To hold a view, run the action from a power that fires repeatedly, or use apoli:modify_camera.

The change is applied on the player's client, which needs Apoli installed.

Example

Look at yourself from the front for a cutscene, then put the camera back:

{
  "type": "apoli:action_on_callback",
  "entity_action_added": {
    "type": "apoli:set_perspective",
    "perspective": "third_person_front"
  },
  "entity_action_removed": {
    "type": "apoli:set_perspective",
    "perspective": "first_person"
  }
}
