I wanted to make a dizzy plugin. So I'm spinning the players view using pev_angles. The problem is the Y axis (players view up or down) keeps resetting to 0 and I don't know why. I'm storing all current pev_angle information in g_dizzyangle[user][0] and only editing g_dizzyangle[user][2] to spin the view. Still the Y axis keeps resetting itself. I want the player to still be able to look up or down while his world is spinning...

PHP Code:

public Dizzy(user)
{
    if(!g_is_dizzy[user])
    {
        g_is_dizzy[user] = true;
        EnableHamForward(HandleDizzyPreThink[user]);
    }
    else
    {
        g_is_dizzy[user] = false;
        DisableHamForward(HandleDizzyPreThink[user]);
    }
}

public Ham_Dizzy_PreThink(user)
{
    new Float:g_old_angle[3];
    new Float:g_old_vangle[3], Float:g_vangle[3];

    pev(user, pev_angles, g_old_angle);
    
    g_dizzyangle[user][0] = g_old_angle[0];
    g_dizzyangle[user][1] = g_old_angle[1];

    if(g_is_dizzy[user])
    {
        g_dizzyangle[user][2] += 2.0;
        set_pev(user, pev_angles, g_dizzyangle[user]);
        set_pev(user, pev_fixangle, 1);
    }
    else
        DisableHamForward(HandleDizzyPreThink[user]);

    return HAM_HANDLED
}

pev_angle it's model angle, pev_v_angle it's the view angle, that being said, rotate the pev_v_angle instead.

I'm sorry but it doesn't seem to work. It still resets the view (for example I'm looking up and when I turn it on it instantly makes me look straight forward) plus the effect is not there unlike when using pev_angle. I've already disabled all other plugins and only had that one running...

PHP Code:

public Ham_Dizzy_PreThink(user)
{
    new Float:old_angle[3];
    
    pev(user, pev_v_angle, old_angle);
    
    g_dizzyangle[user][0] = old_angle[0];
    g_dizzyangle[user][1] = old_angle[1];

    if(g_is_dizzy[user])
    {
        g_dizzyangle[user][2] += 2.0;
        set_pev(user, pev_v_angle, g_dizzyangle[user]);
        set_pev(user, pev_fixangle, 1);
    }
    else
        DisableHamForward(HandleDizzyPreThink[user]);

    return HAM_HANDLED
}

Try removing pev_fixangle from the code.

alter punchangle instead, view angles are reset by the game

I got it! In order to make your Y axis angle (up and down view) stay the same you have to multiply it by -3. I'll explain it in detail in case someone needs this as well.

So basically your angle for pev_angles has 3 parts: Angle [0] makes you look up or down. Angle [1] left to right. And angle [2], well let's say you spin in this angle and it'll like you're doing cartwheels.

I experimented and made two commands: Check_Angle and Set_Angle, which are both self explanatory. But when I check angle[0] and it returns, let's say 7.0; when I then set angle[0] to 7.0 it gives me a different angle. So I set the angle to -90.0 and when I checked it it was 30.0. Here's the code I used.

PHP Code:

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("Dizzy Test", "alpha", "hellmonja");
    
    register_clcmd("check_angle", "Check_Angle");
    register_clcmd("set_angle", "Set_Angle");
}

public Check_Angle(user)
{
    new Float:old_angle[3];
        pev(user, pev_angles, old_angle);
//    pev(user, pev_v_angle, old_angle);
    
    client_print(user, print_chat, "0:%f | 1:%f | 2:%f", old_angle[0], old_angle[1], old_angle[2]);
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

public Set_Angle(user)
{
    new y_angle[32];
    read_argv( 1, y_angle, sizeof y_angle - 1 );
    
    new Float:old_angle[3], Float:new_angle[3];
        pev(user, pev_angles, old_angle);
//    pev(user, pev_v_angle, old_angle);
    
    new_angle[0] = str_to_float(y_angle);
    new_angle[1] = old_angle[1];
    new_angle[2] = old_angle[2];

    set_pev(user, pev_angles, new_angle);
//    set_pev(user, pev_v_angle, new_angle);
    set_pev(user, pev_fixangle, 1);
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
} 


Like I said, if you want to get angle[0] of pev_angles and want to set to view back to that angle you have to multiply it by -3 when you set pev_angles again.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Knowing people are ready support you in this site is much appreciated...

That's incorrect.

Also the difference between the pev_v_angle and pev_angles is the origin position for View angel it's the player pos and for angles its the model origin.

So I do suggest just to apply a random left and right velocity with changing in punchangles slightly.
