Customizable Thirdperson Camera - A clientside thirdperson camera you can customize! - Garry's Mod

This is something I've had for almost a year. I think it was the first thing I made, but I've remade it like 5 times or something. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/244444/pictures/CTP2.jpg[/img] [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/244444/pictures/CTP.jpg]List of things you can do with it[/url] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bu8cD44kwM[/media] [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=97455][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=97455[/img][/url] The menu is in Options->Visuals->CTP Options You can put it on your server if you want so players will automatically download it. Oh and they will also download all presets you have stored on the server. [b]The menu will only work with a gamemode that uses the spawnmenu![/b] I don't think is necessary to make it work on anything else cause most of the time you're not supposed to use custom scripts in other gamemodes. Thanks to Foss for the crosshair

Glad you finally released it! Great work, Caps :buddy:

Oh god and I almost began porting valve's thirdperson, thanks for saving me from the trouble. Since someone will probably ask soon the command to open the menu is "ctp_showmenu"

Thanks, forgot to put up the instructions.

yay :D

Win

Awesome.

This is beautiful.

I might add prop targetting in the next version. This means the angle and all that of the camera will change if an entity is near your or your aim (You'll be able to adjust that) But I don't know if it's worth it. It looks cool and all, but it's very disorienting. (I've had this on earlier versions) What do you think?

Sexy.

Wow, this is really helpful. Thanks!

I need to change my trousers.

Well done. [editline]07:17PM[/editline] Just tried it: Everything is fine except, and it's always the main problem with that kind of addons, the bullets are still visible when you shoot with the tp on, also, it's almost impossible to aim :/

I've been looking for something like this for a while and, well, it works great! The fact that it's clientside and doesn't require sv_cheats 1 is simply a bonus.

Wow this will be very useful for machinma.

Since this is clientside.. can you use this in other servers? :siren: [B]ALERT, DUMB TROLL DETECTED [/B] :siren:

Yes, you can use this on any server.

Well, not exactly. At least I haven't been able to. Two examples are Gmod Tower and Sassilization servers.

Right. I forgot about script enforce'd servers. You can't use them on those.

Oh, no fun :supersadnessemotehere: but, can you make it so the bullets go from the gun instead of the side of your screen?

I'm pretty sure that's a gmod bug. I think it started happening after the big source 2007 update. So yeah, nothing I can do about it.

Aww. Oh well, this is still a kick ass mod. Maybe Garry'll fix it.

Could you fix singleplayer so you're not invisible? Also, in multiplayer you can only open the menu once, the second time it becomes useless (no settings)

[QUOTE=AlfieSR;17862235]Could you fix singleplayer so you're not invisible? [/QUOTE] Due to way the engine handles your player model it isn't really possible to fix singleplayer visibility. at least not without some serious hacks.

I LOVE the cinematic camera.

Yeah, I joined a server, and I can't change my settings. I open the menu and it's blank, and the lua error I get is: [code]autorun/client/CTP.lua:46: attempt to index local 'controlPresets' (a nil value)[/code]

Could you make it so you can bind different angles to keys?

[QUOTE=The1Flame;17865956]Could you make it so you can bind different angles to keys?[/QUOTE] What do you mean by that? Bind presets to keys or something?

[code]bind 1 "ctp_preset1" bind 2 "ctp_preset2" bind 3 "ctp_preset3" Press 1 to go into over the shoulder. Press 2 to go into valve third person Press 3 to go into cinematic. [/code] Ect.
