I've uploaded a newer version that should fix this problem.

Got that error with the new viewmode_v3a. Compiled off web compiler and locally.

This plugin should be in unapproved plugins section.

Why, exactly?

EDIT: New version uploaded, apparently you have to nest if's instead of using the && operator for cvars..

[Arkshine]

Why ? Because it's badly coded ( scary! ) , you seems to not be able to maintain a simple plugin, and also too stubborn to heard recommendations from coders like has done connor there : http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthr...473#post560473

I fail to see how what he posted is very much different from what I've got right now...

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <engine>

new upleft, topdown, thirdperson

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("Third Person","1.0","Throstur")

    register_clcmd("say /thirdperson","fnView_Thirdperson")
    register_clcmd("say /firstperson","fnView_Firstperson")
    register_clcmd("say /randomview","fnView_Random")
    
    register_cvar("amx_viewmode","1")
    register_cvar("amx_viewmode_allowrnd","1")    // allow random viewmode
    upleft = register_cvar("amx_viewmode_force_upleft","0")
    topdown = register_cvar("amx_viewmode_force_topdown","0")
    thirdperson = register_cvar("amx_viewmode_force_thirdperson","0")
    
}

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

public fnView_Thirdperson(id) 


EDIT: Now, I'm asking you nicely to point out what exactly you find to be scarily or badly coded, and also tell me how you'd suggest to fix it.

What happened to the 1 cvar thingy? I mean the amx_forceview 1,2or3?

[Throstur]

That's in version v3a (the beta) and doesn't work in version 2.

It's not made for anything specific, it's useful in whatever you want it to be useful in!
