"Field of View"

[Apfelfurz]

I got a question. Can I make the "FOV" of the character bigger? By that, I mean the amount of the map that the player can see at once.

Something like a light effect (usually with the use of a light-effect script, but it could also be done without scripting) could make a visable circle of light around the Player character and effectively "hide" from view whatever is outside the radius of light. You could then probably change the light circle bigger or smaller accordingly to show or hide more, or perhaps change the tranparency level of it.

If you're talking about changing the actual viewable size of the map such as with a zoom-out and zoom-in type of effect, there is a script out there that may allow that to happen, but in my experience in playing around with it, it wasn't compatible with a lot of the other scripts I was wanting to use in my project and even when I could get it to work seemed to cause some issues and conflicts.

Oh ok, thank you. :^) And yes, I was talking about the "zoom".

Take a look at the "Map Zoom Ace" script:

The site's in French, but if you only know English (like myself) then something like using Google Translate should help you figure it out.

If wanting to give it a try, it also requires another base script along with a dll (you can find the download links on the pages):
