1st Person Driving (Snippet)

Thought I'd post this here too... Could maybe be the beggining of a coding snippets topic in this forum?

0x52B840 - Calls the function that allows the camera to change via script control or internal game control.

I made a simple script to stop the camera from changing to "behind vehicle mode" when you enter a car and turn the player invisible when he's entered it.

So basically, you can move the camera around in the car freely. It works best when your camera mode is set as close to CJ as possible before you get in the car! This will also prevent drivebys from being doable (without extra coding, that is) and quite possibly for stunt jump cams to not take effect.

'tis only a simple thing and I'd allow anyone to improve on it for good use
