I don't know, either I haven't heard of it and it's newer, and therefore probably better, or I've argued about it with someone and proved my version to be more stable, either way, it's really none of my business. The administrator can pick whatever plugin he can based on what it does and how much the admin can fiddle with it, but as I said, I don't know what plugin you are talking about, so you'll just have to try them both and see for yourself which one is better.

I just thought I'd ask in case you already knew the plugin and could tell me why I should use yours instead of that.

[Throstur]

Honestly, I don't care which one you use, I made this as a request, in any case, mine's newer and since the person who requested it preferred this over the old one, this one's probably better - but that do I know, I haven't touched CS for a long time.

Wow, take it easy man, I was wondering why you posted this when there was a plugin out there which already does the same, and it's not my fault or problem if you don't know it.

And if you don't care which is used, why post it at all? Why not just give a few reasons why your plugin is better?

v3a when in third view firstperson doesnt work

[Throstur]

I posted this plugin while I still played CS and such. I don't anymore.

---

@s3r: If it works in v2, then I have absolutely no idea what's wrong. If it doesn't, you either set it up right or AMXX doesn't support it anymore.

No pcvars ?

[Throstur]

Mainly pcvars.

[ConnorMcLeod]

I can't understand that part of code :

    register_cvar("amx_viewmode_force","0")
    upleft = (get_cvar_num("amx_viewmode_force") == 2)
    topdown = (get_cvar_num("amx_viewmode_force") == 3)
    thirdperson = (get_cvar_num("amx_viewmode_force") == 1)

Also, where/when is your function Event_Reset called ?

I guess you only need 2 cvars, something like that :

#include <amxmodx>
#include <engine>

#define ADMIN_CAM    ADMIN_LEVEL_B
/*
#define CAMERA_NONE     0
#define CAMERA_3RDPERSON    1
#define CAMERA_UPLEFT   2
#define CAMERA_TOPDOWN  3
*/
new amx_viewmode, amx_viewmode_force

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

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("Third Person", "1.1", "Throstur")

    amx_viewmode = register_cvar("amx_viewmode","1")
    amx_viewmode_force = register_cvar("amx_viewmode_force","0") // 0:deactivated, 1:3rd person, 2:UpLeft, 3:TopDown

    register_clcmd("say /thirdperson","fnView_Thirdperson")
    register_clcmd("say /firstperson","fnView_Firstperson")
    register_clcmd("say /randomview","fnView_Random")
}

public fnView_Thirdperson(id)
{
    if(!get_pcvar_num(amx_viewmode))
        return

    new force = get_pcvar_num(amx_viewmode_force)

    if(!force || get_user_flags(id) & ADMIN_CAM )
        set_view(id,CAMERA_3RDPERSON)
    else
        set_view(id, force)
}

hi connor,

what is this cool code you have here? If it has improvements i'd switch to this, though v2 works very well and thanks to Throstur for this breathtaking plugin, that i have on my server for years now.
