FirstPersonScopeOffset

Controls the first person view offset for iron sights.

• Y value moves the camera front and back (decrease to move the camera away from the sights)
• Z value moves the camera up and down (will fix issues with the bullet impact being too low: increase to move the sights up)
• X value moves the camera left and right (increase the X value to move the gun to the right)

You generally want to change the value in increments of 0.00X or 0.000X.

FirstPersonScopeAttachmentOffset

Controls the first person view offset for scopes. Values behave the same as FirstPersonScopeOffset.

FirstPersonScopeRotationOffset

Controls the first person rotation of weapon on the x and y plane for iron sights.

• Decreasing the X value rotates the barrel of the gun downwards and the butt of the gun upwards. (Useful if iron sights are misaligned vertically)
• Decreasing the Z value rotates the barrel of the gun to the right and the butt of the gun to the left. (Useful if iron sights are misaligned horizontally)

You generally want to change the value in increments of 0.X or 0.0X as the rotation offset is less sensitive than the normal offset.

FirstPersonScopeAttachmentRotationOffset

Controls the first person rotation of weapon on the x and y plane for scopes. Values behave the same as FirstPersonScopeRotationOffset.
