Thank you, all works.

Thanks, 1 thing i noticed was the cmd is for root access only in the spource file, as seen below:

PHP Code:

    RegAdminCmd("sm_3rd",            CmdThird,        ADMFLAG_ROOT,     "Toggles thirdperson view.");
    RegAdminCmd("sm_tp",            CmdThird,        ADMFLAG_ROOT,     "Toggles thirdperson view.");
    RegAdminCmd("sm_third",            CmdThird,        ADMFLAG_ROOT,     "Toggles thirdperson view."); 


what would the code be to alter this for any player to have use of those commands, that way i could let any client utilise the cmd please.

Would it be the following lines below instead of the above?

Sorry i cannot code i just saw in other source code the regconsolecmd in another sourcemod plugin vs the regadmincmd and the admflag_root in this plugin and figured these are the differences for public use or private admin use?

PHP Code:

    RegConsoleCmd("sm_3rd",            CmdThird,             "Toggles thirdperson view.");
    RegConsoleCmd("sm_tp",            CmdThird,             "Toggles thirdperson view.");
    RegConsoleCmd("sm_third",            CmdThird,             "Toggles thirdperson view.");

Yeah that's correct, I forgot to double check and remove those admin commands.

Alternatively for those that do not want to edit the source files, you can use the override the command access and make the commands public.

EDIT: Updated.

BTW i forgot to add that when i or another player got jockeyed i think also smoker (will have ot test and get back to you on smoker, it is 2am atm im off to catch some zz's) we lost our thrid person view in versus mode and had to type !tp again twice as it still assumed we were in 3rd person still.

And thanks for the fast reply mate.

Hmm I cannot replicate that bug. I tested with the special infected before release but never lost the thirdperson. In Coop and Versus.
