About : Very simple plugin, it fixes the sound bug in Thirdpersonshoulder where Shotguns make absolutely not sound when shot (why hasn't this been fixed yet is beyond me)

How it works :
This simply hooks weapon_fire, checks to see if the user is shooting a shotgun and plays the sound if so.

CVARs :

No CVARs in this plugin

Version 1.0    03-17-2015
- Initial Release

To DO :

- Because of the way this plugin works, shotguns will still make normal sounds when using upgraded ammo (I think fire bullets make them sound different?), this needs to be addressed (although for most people, this isn't noticeable, I didn't even know until my friend told me after testing.

This plugin initially had a VERY complicated thirdperson shoulder check to see if the client was or wasn't in thirdperson, but because of how weirdly I coded it, it unnecessarily inflated the code by a lot.

I decided to completely scrap it because I noticed that even if the check is not implemented, it doesn't interfere in any way with normal usage.

Definitely a quality of life type plugin.

No errors, but it appears all the shotguns have their sounds fired twice now whenever they're fired, so you hear sort of an echo each time.

That's kind of there because there is literally no way of knowing when a client is in ThirdPersonShoulder short of hooking a command listener, and even then there were a lot of other hooks and variable resets that needed to be done, it made for a very big spaghetti code that was awfully inflated just by the check itself.

I think I already know how to make it so that this isn't an issue, I'll throw this on my to do list alongside the incendiary ammo check (apparently they make your shotgun sound different when firing, who would've thought), in theory, I'd add a SoundHook, suppress normal shotgun sounds, and leave only the ones I'm forcing, since as you've noticed, fires at the same time as the normal one.

I'll look at it and see if it can be done easily.

I have an idea for you to create a fun plugin.

boomer: vomiting and walk at the same time.
spitter: spit and walk at the same time.

sorry for my bad English.

Thank you! The Plugin works with the boomer.
But with the Spitter it does not work.
The Plugin "Thirdperson Shotgun sound bug fix" works very well!
thank you very much! I speak Spanish.

Hey DeathChaos, I've been using your plugins for several months now, I really couldn't live without them on my server, lol. I was wondering if you had tried updating this one, like with a sound hook or something? I'm looking into playing in third person some, but since I'm a big user of the shotguns, it gets annoying. Of course, having this plugin means that everyone else on the server gets the echo when firing if they're not in third person.

I'm sure you're busy with life, and I see you haven't been up here in a while anyway, but I just wanted to ask in case you do see this next time you check in. Thanks a lot.

Well this may be your lucky day because I use this plugin and noticed that the sound does echo sometimes, also the volume of the sound lowers, if I have time this week or possibly by the weekend i'll fix it...if he doesn't get to it first. Remind me if I forget, I got other coding projects going on atm...
