Fake Camera View not working

[Horsey]

I don't know why this code isn't working, I have tried different things to call it and to get it to work but it just doesn't work. These pieces are both in a client file.

[lua]
function GetMap()

local worldspawn = ents.GetByIndex( 0 );
local mapname = worldspawn:GetModel();

mapname = string.gsub( mapname, "(%w*/)", "" );
mapname = string.gsub( mapname, ".bsp", "" );

return mapname;

end

TS.MapViews = { }

TS.MapViews["gm_construct"] = { ang = Angle( 20.314821243286, 47.419368743896, 0 ),
pos = Vector( -1063.2745361328, -1709.8194580078, 610.81103515625 ) }

TS.MapViews["rp_c18_v1"] = { pos = Vector( -756.96539306641, -251.11378479004, 1040.7036132813 ),
ang = Angle( -11.148345947266, -16.038745880127, 0 ) }

TS.MapViews["rp_tb_city45_v02n"] = { pos = Vector( 259.531250, 3688.125000, 777.312500 ),
ang = Angle( 21.999979, -120.679893, 0 ) }
[/lua]

[lua]
local function CalcMapView( ply, origin, angles, fov )

if( CreateCharacterMenu ) then

print( "MAP VIEW ON.. " );

if( TS.MapViews[GetMap()] ) then

view.origin = TS.MapViews[GetMap()].pos;
view.angles = TS.MapViews[GetMap()].ang;

return view;

end

end

return view;

end
hook.Add( "CalcView", "TSMapView", CalcMapView );
[/lua]

Nothing happens.
Is there another way?

Are you getting any errors?

Also, have you checked if your GetMap function actually returns what you think it does. Place a few prints in there to make sure.

[Horsey]

No errors what so ever. I'll try that now.

[lua]
function PrintMap()

print( "Getting map:" );
print( "Map: " .. GetMap() );

end
concommand.Add( "getmapname", PrintMap );
[/lua]

When I was on C18 it returned the map name "rp_c18_v1", seems to be working.
Looks like the hook isn't been called.

Anyone? Any different way to create a fake camera view?

game.GetMap() anyone? Doesn't solve your problem but it's alot easier.

[lua]
concommand.Add("lolmap", function(p,c,a)
print("YOU WANT TO KNO THE MAP NAME DO YA? WELL HERE YOU GO "..game.GetMap())
end
[/lua]
Gave me:

Also try.

print(CreateCharacterMenu) and see if it's actually true.

[lua]
local function CalcMapView( ply, origin, angles, fov )

print( CreateCharacterMenu ); -- Do we really have a CreateCharacterMenu? If not, let us know.

if( CreateCharacterMenu ) then

print( "MAP VIEW ON.. " );

if( TS.MapViews[game.GetMap()] ) then

local view = {}; -- Previously view was nil.
view.origin = origin;
view.angles = angles;
view.fov = fov;

view.origin = TS.MapViews[GetMap()].pos;
view.angles = TS.MapViews[GetMap()].ang;

return view;

end

end

-- We didn't change anything so we won't return anything.

end
hook.Add( "CalcView", "TSMapView", CalcMapView );
[/lua]
