I would be very glad, if someone could provide a simple first person/third person switching plugin (bindable to a key for the clients). Thank you very much in advance!

It's always bindable for a player... But if someone puts in a code to bind it automaticly, it's called Slowhacking which isn't allowed on these forums.

Anyways, untested:

PHP Code:

/* Plugin generated by AMXX-Studio */

#include <amxmodx>
#include <engine>

new bool:In3rd[33]

public plugin_init() {
    register_plugin("[Cam] Camera", "1.0.0", "NapoleoN#")
    register_clcmd("say /cam", "CmdCam")
}

public plugin_precache()
{
    precache_model("models/rpgrocket.mdl")
}

public client_putinserver(id) {
    set_task(10.0, "ShowMessage", id)
    set_task(20.0, "ShowMessage2", id)
}

public ShowMessage(id) {
    client_print(id, print_chat, "[CAM] To switch to 3RD Cam, simply type /cam.")
}

public ShowMessage2(id) {
    client_print(id, print_chat, "[CAM] To bind the cam option, simply type: bind <key> ^"say /cam^".")
}

public CmdCam(id) {
    if(!is_user_alive(id)) {
        client_print(id, print_center, "[CAM] You need to be alive to switch cam!")
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    }
    
    if(!In3rd[id]) {
        set_view(id, CAMERA_3RDPERSON) 
        client_print(id, print_center, "[CAM] Camera switched to 3RD Person!")
    }
    else if(In3rd[id]) {
        set_view(id, CAMERA_NONE)
        client_print(id, print_center, "[CAM] Camera switched to Normal!")
    }
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
} 


Added some messages in it so people know how to bind the option to directly switch cam.

Thank you very much for coding this! I forgot to mention, that I'll need this plugin for my custom HLDM-mod (played on small private LAN parties). Would this plugin be compatible with mods related to regular HLDM? So to toggle/switch the camera I have to bind the command "say /cam"?

[Napoleon_be]

you can bind for example:
bind "F" "say /cam"

[frank_freeman]

Is it possible to set the distance from the player to the cam (to have a "closer feeling")?

[Napoleon_be]

Not as far as i know. Ask ConorMcLeod orso, he's much better @ coding then me.

[frank_freeman]

Is it possible to have a plugin, which toggles between first person and 3rd person (no y/x rotation and a 64 unit distance)?
Would be really kewl
