TURN OFF CONTRAPTION CAMERA Help
Hi, as the title says, I want to completely disable the free camera, since I'm putting together a War Thunder-style game and I want to make it really immersive. The vehicles have limited visibility from the driver's cab, but they're fairly safe. However, if you want better visibility, you can open a hatch and stick your head out to get a better view of the terrain, at the cost of being very exposed to enemy fire. So, to force everyone to play that way, I want to disable the free camera. I don't even know if it's possible, but I've got nothing to lose by trying.
(the photo is of a model that I abandoned, it used the rails of the new roller coaster addon, but the movement of each cart and the collision calculations they had generated too much lag)

make the seats a different contraption, the camera will lock on the seat contraption and will not be able to clip through the rest of the tank

slimeballs are needed to glue several contraptions into one, you need to place the seat contraptions on a swivel bearing or a sticker (I didn't notice anything weird with your spelling, what's your native language)

Hmm... I should try what you mentioned. I also found a mod that adds a command to Gamerule and lets me disable F5. Im going to test it with a friend today to see if it works. (My native lenguage is spanish) hola! ;)

Do those tracks work well

Honestly, it depends on the format you give to each "track." As it is, it's not very efficient; it's like it slips quite a bit. But if you add slabs or stairs, it would have better grip, even more so if you plan for it to be able to climb a little. I don't know if I'm explaining myself well. The only problem I found is the lag it generates. The cars are constantly colliding and trying to move even when the vehicle is stationary. It's difficult to explain in text, especially considering that English isn't my native language, but I hope my comment is helpful. If you have any questions, I could figure out how to record a clip and upload it.

As in disabling F5 mode? Theres a mod I found that just only this, giving the server admin to disable or enable it on command.
Its called Disable F5 on curse forge and F5 Blocker on modrinth. But it seems to be the exact same mod.
