• RenderView seems to omit the world on maps with 3D skybox

Hey all! As part of my next mod, I am including a currently crude mirror in the GUI element. Sadly, maps like gm_construct only display properly at certain angles, whereas the other angles omit the world in favor of the 3D skybox. Here is what I mean. When facing away from an edge (optimal result) https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/377014/e08f31e0-9351-4a80-9948-bd74745732b7/image.png When facing towards an edge (keep in mind, the RenderView camera is not clipping. The player could theoretically move to it's position) https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/377014/1970619c-0c31-4f11-87f1-ae7b3213c8fa/image.png The render goes straight through the player and the map, and only renders the projected skybox. I'm really not sure why this is! Here is a commented gist of my code: hook.Add("HUDPaint", "DrawMirror", function() if isDrawMirror then local yvar = -20 local yvec = Vector(0,0,yvar) -- This is just a variable for players to tweak the height of the camera local pos = LocalPlayer():GetShootPos() + Vector(LocalPlayer():GetForward().x, LocalPlayer():GetForward().y, 0)*75 + yvec -- Setting the Z coordinate of GetForward to 0 makes sure that the camera stays level with the player's eyes by default local facepos = LocalPlayer():GetShootPos() + yvec local ang = (facepos-pos):GetNormalized():Angle() playerDraw = true -- Make sure that the player gets rendered -- Just a regular old renderview, nothing to see here render.RenderView( { origin = pos, angles = ang, x = 0, y = 0, w = ScrW()/3, h = ScrH()/3 } ) playerDraw = false end end ) hook.Add("ShouldDrawLocalPlayer", "drawDapOverride", function() cam.Start3D() if playerDraw then return true end cam.End3D() end ) It's pretty simple, so I'm not sure if the code is entirely responsible. I suspect it's an engine error that I will have to work around, like the ShouldDrawLocalPlayer hook. Again, any help is accepted. This seems like a relatively simple thing, I just don't know the answer. Note: At the center of the map (not origin but physical center) all angles work fine.
