TF2 Real Thirdperson


Description

This allows usage of the real thirdperson provided in the source engine.
Thirdperson strictly relies on sv_cheats being set to 1 on the client thus there are many plugins out there to work around this by changing the camera or setting yourself as your own spectator and such.
However in TF2 many player cosmetics do not render on your own player without sv_cheats 1 and real thirdperson.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This script sends the sv_cheats value of 1 to the client without setting it on the server. This allows the client to use the thirdperson command however it also opens access to commands that can be used for the purpose of cheating. For example wireframe mode. This plugins was written with non competative trade servers in mind.


Misc Fixes: There are a few cases where thirdperson is disabled. These include a camera bug on spawn and going back to firstperson after taunting. I have included fixes for both of these.
There is also a check for the host_timescale cvar being altered on server so that sv_cheats 0 is not sent to the client in case you have something like slowmo that relies on it.


COMMANDS
sm_thirdperson Enable the tiny elf that floats over your head with a camera
sm_firstperson Murder said elf and hold the camera yourself.


CVARS

sm_thirdperson_taunt_delay "0.4" Delay before thirdperson is enabled again after a taunt.

ACCESS OVERRIDES

By default everyone has access to the commands. Set the override sm_real_thirdperson_access to change this. (This is not a cvar or existing command, just an override you have to set in admin_overrides.cfg)

Changelog

1.3 - Using TF2_OnConditionRemoved and replaced access cvar with CheckCommandAccess
1.2 - Missed a few valid client checks on timers.
1.1 - Added convar for admin flag. Added detection of action slot taunts.
1.0 - Initial release.

Awesome! Thanks for the fixes!

Theoretically, you could use this plugin in conjunction with SourceMod Anti-Cheat, and just set up all the commands/CVARs that could be used for cheating so that SMAC kicks/bans a player for trying them.

Simple!

I'm not touching this plugin with a 50 foot clown pole, though.

Good plugin, just 1 issue. When using the firstperson command (and in taunt) the camera turns a little bit in a weird way when going to thirdperson. Can this be fixed by any chance? It's like a 90 degrees (going around the class) turn.

Thanks for this! However, is there a cvar that allows non-admins to use !thirdperson?

^ I just noticed that only admins can use this on a custom flag (5) not mentioned in the first post.. :-\ would be nice if you'd notified people about it. I installed this plugin a few days ago, and I just recently noticed no one was able to use the third person command.

Yeah, because skimming the source before installing things is hard.

Why would I check through the source of every plugin I download? I just assumed it would be a public command, especially with the text Description & note of the first post.

Added convar for admin flag. Added detection of action slot taunts.

It is a VERY good idea to check the source of every plugin you install. Don't want to accidentally install a malicious plugin. They are quickly sniffed out in most cases however you wouldn't want to find out the hard way. You don't even have to be a dev to ctrl-f and find a rogue ServerCommand function.
