Thanks for the plugin! I was waiting for this one. : )

Hi I was wondering why does the plugin only allow me to free load when i go spec, does it not work when you are a dead player also ?

Works on spec and when you're dead.

Also as an improvement, i would like to see all the player names above their heads while in freelook, like when you're aiming at someone. Would make work for admins way easier, not sure if such can be implemented but looking forward to that

I used this suggestion and this seems to have fixed the bugs with the OP plugin.

Weird bugs I noticed using the timer:
*Defuser kit showing up
*First person not rendering the world properly or some entities not rendering
*Sometimes spectators could be invisible players (Griefing* Blocking doorways, grenades)

All of this seems to be fixed, and the plugin is cleaner and simpler.

Would this be the way to do it then?

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>

#define TEAM_SPEC 1
#define TEAM_T 2

#define SPECMODE_FIRSTPERSON 4
#define SPECMODE_THIRDPERSON 5
#define SPECMODE_FREELOOK 6

new g_iLast[MAXPLAYERS + 1];

public Action:OnClientCommand(client, args)
{
	new String:cmd[16];
	GetCmdArg(0, cmd, sizeof(cmd));	/* Get command name */
	
	if (StrEqual(cmd, "spec_mode"))
	{
		for (new i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
		{
			if (!IsClientInGame(i) || IsPlayerAlive(i))
				continue;

			new mode = GetEntProp(i, Prop_Data, "m_iObserverMode");

			if (mode == SPECMODE_FIRSTPERSON && g_iLast[i] == SPECMODE_THIRDPERSON)
			{
				SetEntProp(i, Prop_Data, "m_iObserverMode", SPECMODE_FREELOOK);
				g_iLast[i] = SPECMODE_FREELOOK;
			}

			else if (g_iLast[i] == SPECMODE_FREELOOK && mode != SPECMODE_FREELOOK)
			{
				SetEntProp(i, Prop_Data, "m_iObserverMode", SPECMODE_FIRSTPERSON);
				g_iLast[i] = SPECMODE_FIRSTPERSON;
			}

			else
				g_iLast[i] = mode;
		}
		
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}
	
	return Plugin_Continue;
}

It seems this plugin has been evolving a lot since its initial release but it currently lacks a clear entrance and exit procedure. peewee41, you're on the right path but why not use a common button to close this instead? I'm using the use key now to return to regular spec mode without any timers.

looks like the recent update made this obsolete

When i use this plugin it only allows me to go freelook when i am in spectator. When i am dead i am still fixated at a player.

You dont need the plugin anymore, the issue has been fixed by valve and you should be able to go in freelook on any server which allows it.

can you tell me how to make my server so i can free look and look in third person? It seem that i can only look in first person
