The Default is 0, which means the effects will always play unless in First-person view. Any FX while in Third-person view will be displayed until the distance is changed.

The units are in feet. 300 sets the value well beyond the normal camera distance.
I believe the default camera distance when you first start the client and log in is 10.
The maximum camera distance using the Mouse Wheel is 80.
/CamDist # can get you up to 120.
While base editing, you can zoom out as far as 800 feet.

Note:
Keep in mind that the /SuppressCloseFX command will only affect auras and effects on your own character, and some powers are not flagged to allow suppression. If you find such a power/set, and feel it was accidentally overlooked, make sure to bring it to the attention of the appropriate Dev so that it might be fixed in a later patch.

Also:
No matter what distance you set with /SuppressCloseFXdist, you must still make sure /SuppressCloseFX is set to 1 to enable the suppression. Set /SuppressCloseFX to 0 to allow all effects again.

Press "B" while in game, or scroll your mouse wheel all the way up.

I think he knows how to get to first person.. I think he was saying he wouldn't be able to stand playing that way.

What MB said. I know how to get there, but I can't stand first person stuff on a computer. There's absolutely no peripheral vision. My eyesight doesn't stop after a 30 degree angle.


Dec out.

I agree totally, and probably should have realized what you meant.
