1st / 3rd Person Perspective

Unturned gives you the option to change the perspective on your server. You can choose between first-person and third-person perspectives. By default, the game is played in first-person perspective. Since version 3.9.9.0, you can also change this. Below, we explain how to set this up for your server.

Configuration

The change is made in the Commands.dat configuration file. You can find this in the Configuration tab (raw text view) of your game server. Depending on which perspective you want to set, the following command must be entered in the config:

First-Person Perspective (Default):

This option is already active by default, even if the command is not yet in the config. However, you can add the command for completeness without any issues. The command for this option looks like this:

Code

perspective first

Third-Person Perspective:

If you want to use the third-person perspective instead of first-person, you can also set this. The command for this option looks like this:

Code

perspective third

Both Perspectives:

You can also use both perspectives together. In this case, only the value in the command needs to be adjusted. The command for this option looks like this:

Code

perspective both

The desired option will be active the next time you start your server!
