I'm wondering if I can eradicate the deathcam all together and instantly move your view to the next player on your team.

I've tried to use SetClientViewEntity() and set it to another player on your team, but it will set the view point at their feet and will stay there forever (even after round restart - your view will still be following some guys feet lol)

Help!

Mod: CSS btw

I am not sure that it is what you need but... maybe :
mp_forcecamera 1

i think even if you figure out how to do this, client won't be able to change the view after.

Nope, there is still a huge delay between dying and then being locked the next player

Using SetClientViewEntity you will definitely need to detect the new round and revert their view to themselves.

As for the location...

Hmm..

You could create some sort of invisible entity and make it follow the player (see the parachute threads for some help on this), then set your view to that.
Would give you more customisation about the orientation and location of the view.

And no firefox, I will not put a 'z' in my words. Fucker.

spec_next? Not sure if the command is handled by the client or server, but worth a shot.. another alternative is changing the observer target through SetEntData or w/e.

Current code:

public Event_PlayerDeath(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new victim = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event,"userid"));
   
    new max_clients = GetMaxClients();
    
    for (new i = 1; i <= max_clients; i++)
    {
        if (IsClientConnected(i) && IsClientInGame(i) && IsPlayerAlive(i) && GetClientTeam(i) == GetClientTeam(victim))
        {
            SetEntPropEnt(victim, Prop_Send, "m_hObserverTarget", i);
            SetEntPropEnt(victim, Prop_Send, "m_iObserverMode", 3);
            break;
        }
    }
}

I get a crosshair and it follows them but it's extremely buggy, I'm still not at their eyelevel and I can't switch players, if I try the camera goes inside the players head :/

When I have mp_forcecamera = 0 and m_iObserverMode = 4 (3rd person) it works, but I need mp_forcecamera 1 and I need 1st person

You could always fade their screen black on death for a few seconds until it naturally switches to the next player (If what you were looking to do is prevent the person seeing who killed them).

Unfortunately I need a seemless (no black screens etc) solution

[noob cannon lol]

Since nothing else works, you can set up the virtual function StartObserverMode through SDKTools and use that.

You can get the offset from here: http://wiki.alliedmods.net/CCSPlayer...%28SourceMM%29
