1st Person Check is my offering to the mod community for mod authors to either use as a master, a base to build on or to recreate by following the tutorial. The purpose is to provide a global variable which can be used in Papyrus scripts so that authors may script different actions depending upon whether the player is in 1st person view or 3rd person view.
This is not a new idea. A tutorial, which for the uninitiated can be confusing, is located at http://www.creationkit.com/Passing_Conditions_to_Papyrus. There may even already be mods out that use this process.
I have expanded upon this method and outlined the steps to be a bit more clear and precise so that even new mod authors should be able to replicate. Please locate the tutorial in the Articles section http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/814571-tutorial-to-recreate-1st-person-check. It is recommended that you read both the original and my tutorial. The original explains that the idea is possible on other conditions. Whereas my tutorial is a specific walk through for setting up to check the status of 1st person view
There is also available an ESM as the main download which could be used as a required master file. In the optional downloads is an ESP file (identical to the ESM) which could be used to build a new mod upon.
To test either the ESM or ESP install one (not both) to your Skyrim > Data directory. Start a game (new or old). Bring up the console and type help abim You should get as a result a global variable called abIM_1stPersonView. When the value is at 1 you should be in 1st person view. When the value is at 0 you should be in 3rd person view.
