About this addon

What it does

ForceCam

A lightweight World of Warcraft addon that enforces a specific camera distance factor. Users may set a factor in the range [1.0, 2.6] (default: 1.5).

The addon monitors CVar update events (CVAR_UPDATE) that can be caused by a variety of things, e.g., vehicles, cutscenes and zoning. If the game attempts to alter cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor, the addon will inform the user of this and immediately enforce the user's settings.

/run SetCVar("cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor", 1.0)

(assuming your setting isn't 1.0).
