Player View Angles
 

Can they be changed easily?

I found a function within CBasePlayer that I think can do it (SnapEyeAngles) but the project I'm working in has a problem trying to include the files that contain CBasePlayer, throwing a slew of errors like m_hOwnerEntity is undefined, m_hMoveParent undefined, m_hUseEntity, n_hVehicle, m_hObserverTarget, m_hZoomerOwner, m_hOwner, m_hLightingOrigin/Relative, m_hCtrl, m_hActiveWeapon, all undefined for some reason

I have all the environment variables set up correctly, and I included several required files, but including cbase.h throws many errors, and including just player.h does too

So my main question is 2 fold: Is there a way to change player view angles without including this, or is there a way to fix these problems and just use the premade stuff

Well, tampering with the players usercmds is probably the best solution.

I have a usercmd hook, setting cmd->viewangle does nothing, just like in a SourceMod plugin, if you do ang=ang and return Plugin_Changed it doesn't actually change the players view

Edit: And actually, in the hl2sdk in usercmd.h, it has a code block that turns some parts of the hook into local only, viewangle is one, at least that's what I'm led to believe

WELP, everything in this has become irrelevant

It's sending the angles serverside, but not clientside, I'm shooting people behind me, the equivelant of a silent aim aimbot

It's good enough for me, but meh

If you want visible view angle changes you can call CBaseAnimating?::Teleport(virtual function, no signature required).

Teleport(Vector const *newPos, QAngle const *newAngles, Vector const *newVelocity)
just pass NULL to newPos and newVelocity

I see

This is where the original problem comes in, baseentity.h has errors

Edit: Looking at the teleport code, I see it also just uses SnapEyeAnles

Edit 2: I looked at SnapEyeAngles, and it uses CPlayerState, which IServerGameClients can retrieve and use, so I used the method SnapEyeAngles uses and it works!

Congratulations, you've learnt why SM's gamedata files exist.

A new problem emerged that the eye angles never leave 0.0 in pitch

Re: Player View Angles
 

I think you're probably looking at roll instead of pitch.

Re: Player View Angles
 

No, it's pitch, I can't get it to leave 0.0 when it finds a target, it snaps almost like it get's locked

The piece of code I have was being used on bots
