Is there a command to switch between 1st and 3d person view , from the console, (or a script for that matter)??

This would be the equivalent of pressing the R key.

I've looked everywhere yet I cant find the answer. Im sure this is very simple and basic, but Im lost

OBSE: http://obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html#ToggleFirstPerson
non-OBSE: messing around with setting the player's fatigue to 0 or paralyzing him, which has obvious, usually unwanted side effects.

Thank you!!! it works a treat. Simple yet effective. I wonder why the function is not listed in the CS wiki

I don't know if that's one of them, but there are a number of functions in OBSE that are not documented in the CS wiki. Basically, the CS wiki is only up to OBSE 15 or so, and OBSE 19 is in progress at the moment.

It is there, in http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/OBSE_Change_Log, lol
