Any way to detect when a view punch has happened?

[bosnian_cyco]

Google didn't help. And testing for the IN_ATTACK enumeration wont work in my instance. I need to be able to find out the numbers/forces applied by the view punch when it happens.

I checked, and there doesn't seem to be any sort of hook or something for this. :/

Any one know of a way to do this?

There isn't a hook but you can get the view punch angles via this function:

Right. Not exactly what I wanted but you gave me a different idea that might work. Thanks man. :)

Wait question though. Does this need to be called the moment a view punch happens? Because I have this running in a HUDPaint hook and it's returning Angle( 0, 0, 0 ) constantly.

Nevermind that last bit. Error on my behalf. Works fine in a HUDPaint hook.

You could detour the functions that apply it and make a note of when they punch player's view angles and for how much. This wouldn't work with HL2 weapons though.

You can just test between Move hook calls. FinishMove will return the post-decay value.
