How do i rotate a playermodel?

[auri45]

I want to make a player model spin in a complete circle kind of like in thirdperson_mayamode except the game automates the rotation. How would I do this? Would I have to make a custom animation for the playermodel?

[auri45]

This kind of works:

spin2 = 0

function spin(cmd) 
if spin2 == 1 then
RunConsoleCommand("thirdperson_mayamode")
end

if spin2 < 180 then 
    cmd:SetViewAngles(Angle(LocalPlayer():GetAngles().x,LocalPlayer():GetAngles().y + 10 , LocalPlayer():GetAngles().z))   
	spin2 = spin2 + 1
	print(spin2)
	end 
	
	if spin2 == 180 then
	RunConsoleCommand("thirdperson_mayamode")
	end   
	end

but if I want to put it into a concommand like this it doesn't work

concommand.Add("spin", function()
function spin(cmd) 
if spin2 == 1 then
RunConsoleCommand("thirdperson_mayamode")
end

if spin2 < 180 then 
    cmd:SetViewAngles(Angle(LocalPlayer():GetAngles().x,LocalPlayer():GetAngles().y + 10 , LocalPlayer():GetAngles().z))   
	spin2 = spin2 + 1
	print(spin2)
	end 
	
	if spin2 == 180 then
	RunConsoleCommand("thirdperson_mayamode")
	end   
	end
	end)
	hook.Add("CreateMove", "spin", spin)

I'm not really sure what to do

I think he means the playermodel, i don't think theres a function to rotate playermodel itself, although you can create a shadow model that uses the player animations to mimic it and then you can control it and rotate it

[auri45]

I created a kind of shadow model that sets its position to the player:

concommand.Add("shadow", function(ply)
local button = ents.Create( "prop_physics" )
if ( !IsValid( button ) ) then return end
button:SetModel( "models/rtbmodels/pokemon/squirtle.mdl" )
button:SetAngles(Angle(ply:GetAngles()  ))
button:SetPos( Vector( ply:GetPos()) )
button:Spawn()
button:SetCollisionGroup(COLLISION_GROUP_DEBRIS)
ply:SetModelScale( 0,0)
local function onThink()
	button:SetAngles(Angle(button:GetAngles().x,button:GetAngles().y + 10, button:GetAngles().z  ))
	button:SetPos( Vector( ply:GetPos()) )
	
end

timer.Create("removethink",1,1, function()
hook.Remove( "Think", "Some unique name")
button:Remove()
ply:SetModelScale( 1,0)
end)

hook.Add( "Think", "Some unique name", onThink )

end)

The model stutters whenever I move though. Is there any way to fix that?
