In-game view model flip...

[DaOneWhoPwns]

Hi! what I pretend is to switch how I handle my SWEPs, between right and left handed way. I know there's a LUA code known as 'SWEP.ViewModelFlip = true/ false', but what I really need is to bind a key to some console command (that I'd really appreciate if you could tell me) which would do it during gameplay, so I can lean around corners in a more realistic way; I'm not sure if you know what I am talking about.
I'm sorry for being a realism freak by the way :P

Whenever you need to do it, just do Weapon.ViewModelFlip = true/false, save the value before changing it, and restore it after you don't need anything changed.

Make sure to sync the variable to the client.

[DaOneWhoPwns]

That command didn't work, and what do you mean with 'sync the variable to the client'?

[Rubat]

I mean do it on client, because it won't make any difference if you change it on server.

Also, it might be sensible to do
local oldval = Weapon.ViewModelFlip
Weapon.ViewModelFlip = !oldval

In case the SWEP has it set to true. It won't work for default HL2 weapons.

I tried these commands on console but they didn't work neither.
And what I gotta do on client? I still don't understand :S

[c👌de_g🎷]

Did you put what Robotboy posted in your code?

[QUOTE=DaOneWhoPwns;43772226]I tried these commands on console but they didn't work neither.

Post exactly what you tried.

[DaOneWhoPwns]

Yeah I tried various things like putting what he posted on my SWEP base and also on a new LUA file located on my 'client' folder (as he might meant), and also copied the same with 'weapon' being replaced by 'SWEP' just in case that wasn't a valid code; so this is what there is on my LUAs:

local oldval = Weapon.ViewModelFlip
Weapon.ViewModelFlip = !oldval
Weapon.ViewModelFlip = true/false

local oldval = SWEP.ViewModelFlip
SWEP.ViewModelFlip = !oldval
SWEP.ViewModelFlip = true/false

I did type each one of these lines on console too (alternating between 'false' and 'true') but I can't make it work -.-

[c👌de_g🎷]

If you read the code, then you'd know that !oldval was the command. Also, you can't just make a new file. Post your full weapon code.

[Rubat]

Do you have any idea of what you are doing?

Be honest.

Because this is working on this is working on Tool Gun for example.

sv_allowcslua 1
lua_run_cl local wep = LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon() wep.ViewModelFlip = true

[DaOneWhoPwns]

Alright, so I typed that supposed command '!oldval' but didn't work neither. Whatever, here I leave my code:

[Rubat]

Use pastebin for code.

Oh my god, are you serious?

Oh woah hang there for a second, just tried with

'sv_allowcslua 1'
'lua_run_cl local wep = LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon() wep.ViewModelFlip = true'

and my model flips in-game! that's what I just wanted, now I only got to bind the keys. Thanks for your help, let this thread die :D
