Please read the notes section!

Commands:

Admin:
sm_sightjack <target> <slot> - Parents your view to that of <target>'s weapon.
<slot> should be a number of a weapon slot. In TF2 try 1 to 3 until it works correctly.

sm_unjack - Returns your view to normal.
sm_tauntjack <time> - (TF2 Only!) "stuns" you for X seconds which changes your view to third-person view on the sightjack.

Cvars:

sm_sightjacker_version

Install Instructions:

1. Place SightJack.smx OR TF2_SightJack.smx into your addons/sourcemod/plugins/ folder.

Notes:

This plugin is rather rudimentary, if you know a better way to do this, please let me know!

This plugin works by setting your view to the perspective of one of your target's weapons, and therefore looks rather hacky.
So don't go expecting this to be replacing team spectator anytime soon.

TF2 Version:

The TF2 version has an extra command that you can use to spectate a player in third-person view which actually doesn't look so terribad.

Please use the TF2 version with TF2 servers, and the regular version for all other games.

Also Note:

I have only done testing in TF2. The general version "should" work in any game, but please do some testing and report back.

ToDo:

• Add first-person view mode if someone knows how it could be done.

Version History:

• V1.5
  
  • Initial Release

Another handy idea would be to hide the "joined team spectator" notification when you actually do go spec. Otherwise this is a brilliant plugin. Would love to see the FirstPersonView implemented :P

Now combine this with puppet mod.

nice plugin!

Re: [Any] Sight Jacker (Stealth Spectate)
 

Can you parent a view to a target that has no equipped items?

Re: [Any] Sight Jacker (Stealth Spectate)
 

No, the plugin cannot do that.

Can you have like free cam with this? Almost like a ghost. Jumping out of your body and flying around with free cam.

not working with hidden source b4

tried weapon slot 1-10

Re: [Any] Sight Jacker (Stealth Spectate)
 

The important question is, can players using aimbot software that supports spectate detection, detect this?
