About this mod
!!FOR VERSION 2.1.0 ONLY!! Unlocks 3rd Person Actions and POV in the Meditation Area.
- Permissions and credits
An edit to the _00e_class_openclassmenuscript script used for the Meditation Area in Enderal SE version 2.1.0, unlocking the ability to change the POV in the Meditation Area to 3rd person and allowing actions within the area.
Rationale
The script that handles the transition of your player character into and out of the Meditation area uses a Papyrus script to namely:
- Force your character into first person view if you were in third person view
- Disables your character controls so that you can only move, jump, and activate nodes
- Disables your character model from rendering
- Handles the exit out of the area, returning your character into third person view if you had entered the Meditation Area in third person view
I've removed 9 lines of code from the script and recompiled it, which allows you to preserve the POV your character was in when entering the Meditation Area, freely switch between 1st and 3rd person, and perform regular actions within the area such as unsheathing your weapon and attacking with it.
No other functionality in the script has been changed - I've included the tweaked .psc file and a picture for reference - I've played for about 6 hours in a playthrough and did not come across any issues, so I'm releasing this as is.
Scripts can get weird and may not update mid-save - so you may need to start a new save/playthrough to see these changes apply. This tweak also doesn't take effect when you enter the Meditation Area for the first time after the opening cutscene, as that is handled by the main quest scripts. This is normal.
