[TF2] Third Person
(Non-sv_cheats Edition)
Version 2.1.0

Description:

I got tired of looking at all the hacky third-person plugins that screw with client sv_cheats.
So I wrote one that doesn't.

What does this do?

Allows players to use third-person view.

What doesn't this do?

Enable client-side cheats

Why should I care about client-side cheats?

When enabled, they prevent players from earning achievements.
When enabled, they allow players to use client-only cheat commands (eg, r_drawothermodels).

Commands:

• sm_thirdperson
• tp
  
• sm_firstperson
• fp

By default, all players have access to the above commands. To restrict access to only authorized players, see Overriding Command Access.


Cvars:

• thirdperson_version
  • Plugin Version

Install Instructions:

1. Place ThirdPerson.smx into your addons/sourcemod/plugins/ folder.

Notes:

Credits to:

• Ce_Rire for mentioning the m_bIsReadyToHighFive netprop which I promptly pounced on.
• Hi Nephyrin.
• PonyTaloma

ToDo:

• Add a cvar to enable/disable/enforce the third-person command.

So for those who have just woken up (probably just me!) can I confirm that you can still get achievements with this plugin, as it doesn't enable client-side cheats?

Noticed a possible bug. When in third person if you move by anyone who is doing the high 5 taunt it will automatically do the taunt. When it does it, it lets you move away though, like you're taunt sliding. Not a big deal, but just thought I'd let you know.

Works a treat, thanks very much.

Yeah, the only fix to that would be to knock players out of third-person for 0.1 seconds whenever someone in range taunts.
I have information that something better will be coming in a TF2 update Soon™.

a bug with this, when changing class you need to taunt to go into thirdperson

when thirdperson as heavy and a sandwich, you click left mouse button and it does the high five taunt
taunt works, its just using the attack button that makes it perform the high five, even without a partner

I believe it's for any class that has consumable weapons (Cola, Sandvich, etc). I am also getting these bugs as well in third person mode.
