Hello,

I'm trying to basically turn a player around. Getting no errors, but this doesn't affect my view direction in the slightest.
Any ideas? Am I editing the correct vector? Is there a particular "eye angles vector" that I could edit with SetEntPropVector instead of using TeleportEntity?
Any help would be appreciated.

PHP Code:

new Float:eyeAngles[3];
GetClientEyeAngles(client, eyeAngles);

PrintToConsole(client, "Current eye angles: %f %f %f", eyeAngles[0], eyeAngles[1], eyeAngles[2]);
PrintToConsole(client, "Creating eye angles offset...");

eyeAngles[0] += 10.0;
eyeAngles[1] += 10.0;
eyeAngles[2] += 10.0;

PrintToConsole(client, "Offset eye angles: %f %f %f", eyeAngles[0], eyeAngles[1], eyeAngles[2]);

PrintToConsole(client, "Changing eye angles...");
TeleportEntity(client, NULL_VECTOR, eyeAngles, NULL_VECTOR);

GetClientEyeAngles(client, eyeAngles);
PrintToConsole(client, "New eye angles: %f %f %f", eyeAngles[0], eyeAngles[1], eyeAngles[2]); 


And an example console print:

Current eye angles: 6.009521 222.654418 0.000000 Creating eye angles offset... Offset eye angles: 16.009521 232.654418 10.000000 Changing eye angles... New eye angles: 6.009521 222.654418 0.000000

...doing any other way may screw up client prediction.

Not sure why using TeleportEntity() fails to work, but you could try directly changing the m_angEyeAngles netprop on the client.

Thanks, no luck with m_angEyeAngles either. I was trying to do this for Neotokyo. Can't be bothered to set up a dedicated server for other games, but I'm pretty sure Neotokyo just doesn't support changing this. Oh well.

There is no way to do this...
Only when crouched can you set it, otherwise it is reset every frame.
View height can be set with model scale.. But that also changes your bounds and some other things.
Valve really needs to make an input for view height for us, so we have proper height and csp. Or more preferred, a way to scale models while maintaining a separate sized collision hull.

wat

You can set the angles however you please.
If you want something more smooth you can hack around with setviewentity and viewcontrol entities.

[friagram]

Oh, I totally misread this. I meant there is no way to set the view height. viewcontrol is crap and has CSP issues. Eyeposition is like.. hard coded into the mod AFAIK so that the shoot position is always calculated from some point on the collision hull. The only way to change that/view height is to change the hull, which is real bad.

To answer the original post, one of the thinks will get this done smoothly enough. Probably PreThink/PreThinkPost

Smoothly setting eye angles in think without any magic? Forget it. If the player moves around it will jerk around horribly.
Assuming we're talking about smooth "I am moving my head to look at X" transitions. But as said, if I'm not mistaken there's entities for that. Or the hacks I've mentioned above.

It depends on what you are doing. If you're trying to shake their screen or something to make them walk drunk, it's going to be really choppy doing it on a think. Then again, there are other things that can be used if you need a constant effect, like viewpunch -- that does not suffer from CSP.

My point exactly. Where would you use that?
Unless you can prevent the client from actually using the camera client-side you run into side-effects. Why would you want those?
