I got the idea from Silver's Thirdperson plugin, I liked it, however it's useless for shooting guns because there is no crosshair. So I said hey this would be great just for melee use, who doesn't like thirdperson melee and why not make it automatic, right.

What this plugin does is automatically switches a players view to thirdperson when using a melee weapon. If you switch to any other weapon you go back to firstperson.

By default Auto Thirdperson Melee is disabled for new clients, that way no gripes from people who don't want to use it.

CHAT COMMAND: !tm - Enables/Disables Auto Thirdperson Melee

VERSION 1.1
Corrected an invalid edict error message.

VERSION 1.2
Actually fixed the invalid edict error message.
Added l4d2_thirdperson_melee.cfg and convar l4d2_tm_slot
which allows you to change the melee slot the plugin supports,
for those of us that don't use the standard melee slot.

VERSION 1.3
Added the chainsaw.

VERSION 1.4
Added cookie support for saving auto thirdperson melee preference.
Added convar to enable/disable saving preferences.
DONT FORGET TO DELETE YOUR OLD CFG!!!

VERSION 1.5
Added support for splitscreen players using the preference saving system.

VERSION 1.6
Fixed a bug when you drop your melee weapon in thirdperson it would lock your view
into thirdperson regardless of what weapon you would switch to.
Also slightly shrunk and optimized the code...

VERSION 1.7
Converted to new syntax

Will not be including the .smx file, just use get plugin to compile.
Please report any bugs and i'll fix them as soon as I can.

Hmmm, it seems it conflicts with the addon from GameMaps called "L4D2 Third Person View".

i'll look into it...a possible fix would be to open the vpk with gcfscape and manually apply the settings to your autoexec.cfg, bypass using the vpk, if possible. This does work with thirdpersonshoulder command.

hmm, and you updated to v 1.1? I discovered that last night and corrected it, but maybe not properly...just confirm your not using the first version I released...

[MasterMind420]

ok so i just double checked and the invalid edict error is still there, i'll fix it asap, thanks for the report Sell.

[MasterMind420]

Ok this is just for cravenge to test out, to see if it fixes his problems...
I know the c_thirdpersonshoulder convarquerycheck works, however the other two may not...

[MasterMind420]

I can already see right now that while i may have corrected your problem, also in doing so I broke the enable disable option...so an update is needed...either tonight or tomorrow. Either way let me know your results?

VERSION 1.2 Uploaded.
Cravenge sorry for the screw up but I uploaded the other version with my own melee slot set to 6. I'm sure you figured it out, but the new version I posted will not include the changes I made for you, I need confirmation they work before i'll apply them, and on top of that it'll require some modifications to work as I originally intended, disabled by default for clients, which the version I gave you does not do that...it'll take some tinkering. Either that or i'll maintain 2 seperate versions...
