Lagless 3rd Person Camera


Description: As the name says, this plugin gives you the ability to switch to the 3rd person view. It uses a completely different method than the older ones. It uses a stock command "thirdperson" available via player's console which creates literally zero lag while aiming, unlike the other camera plugins. To make this work however sv_cheats have to be enabled, because "thirdperson" is classified as a cheat command. Other commands available via sv_cheats 1 are forbidden by the plugin.
I made this plugin for fun for our Soccerjam community, since other camera plugins cause major delay while aiming. Because this method fixes the issue, I thought I would share it.


Commands:
say /cam or .cam to switch between camera types


Requirements:
sv_cheats 1
(read description)


Known Issues:
-player has to reconnect after switching to 3rd person
-the camera can get you to see through the walls since it doesn't change it's position upon getting closer to the walls, can't really be fixed because of the nature of the "thirdperson" command


--

If you know more commands available via sv_cheats let me know so I can block them in the plugin, these are all I could find by now.

Yep, and Valve made sure I can't force player to reconnect since I posted the plugin. Can't be fixed.

The elephant(s) in the room. Drivers are everything. Without them we have bricks. Poor ones we see plugins like this.

#1 Do not post plugins that already exist or have been written already.
Approved plugin. Lagless.
Camera View Menu 1.1

Is opening Pandora box to exploits the responsible thing to do for a 3rd person?

Examples.
Use a menu to help user reconnect as a workaround. Set up a kick with reason since we cannot make them reconnect.

This should not appear in the code:
Code:
//client_cmd(id, "wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;^"retry^" ") //doesn't work anymore

He is no longer able to support plugin since Valve cleaned this up. It is not a known issue it is a complete lack of regard.

He's most likely saying that standard drivers perform poorly hence such plugins.

1. There is already such a plugin approved.
2. Source of issue is video driver complacency.
3. There are ways to workaround the disconnect obstacle.
