Camera Control Tool (using shortcuts) [v1.2]

This tool helps you look at certain items around the table by pressing a shortcut key.
Very useful for anyone making a mod and who wants to add handy preset camera views for players to quickly switch between.


---

This tool has 2 versions: using Scripting Buttons, and using Game Keys
and 2 functionalities: looking at what you're hovering over, and looking at a specific object.


For both, pressing the correct shortcut key shown will orient the camera over an object. The 2 numbers at the top control the pitch (vertical angle) and zoom (distance from the object). The arrow on the right toggles whether the camera rotates to look at the item upside-down or not (useful for objects that might have been imported upside-down, for example)

By default, the camera looks at what you are hovering over. However, you can also set an object by GUID (or simply drop the tool on something to get its GUID) and have the camera look to that instead.
You can use this feature to set many quick camera angles for different objects in your mod! (you'll need multiple copies of the tool for each camera angle you want to save)

The difference between the Scripting Buttons version and the Game Keys version is the key that the player will press.
- With the Scripting Buttons version, the player must press the Scripting Button of the matching number. Those are set to Numpad 0-9 by default, and you can't have more than 10.
- The Game Keys version creates a Game Keys with the name "Look at X", where X is the name of what you put in the middle of the tool. A user can set any shortcut for that camera angle, and it will be remembered each time they reload that mod. They are, however, not bound to any key by default, and the player MUST set it themselves. You can find them under Options -> Game Keys.


Feel free to drop it in your mods as a tool! You can credit me or not.
