Moving player's camera up^

[Actowolfy]

So I used ply:SetModelScale( self:GetModelScale() * 2, 0 ) to scale a player up. The problem is that their cameras are still in the same position from before the scale. Is there a way to also get that to scale/move up?

Would I use Player:SetCurrentViewOffset or Player:SetViewOffset to achieve this? If so could some give me an example of it?

You can use PLAYER:SetViewOffset and PLAYER:SetViewOffsetDucked.

Here's the way I've approached it. PAC3 may have a better implementation for it, though you'll have to do some digging around. I use fixed hull sizing because it gets extremely annoying when players at size 20 start blocking everyone else from moving around.

local VIEW_OFFSET = Vector( 0, 0, 64 )
local VIEW_OFFSET_DUCK = Vector( 0, 0, 28 )

local HULL_MIN = Vector( -16, -16, 0  )
local HULL_MAX = Vector(  16,  16, 72 )

local HULL_DUCK_MIN = Vector( -16, -16, 0  )
local HULL_DUCK_MAX = Vector(  16,  16, 36 )

local STEP_SIZE = 18

local PLAYER = FindMetaTable( "Player" )

function PLAYER:SetSize( size )
    size = math.Clamp( size, 0.01, 20 ) -- if you don't clamp it at around 20, they will start lagging the server when they walk

    self:SetModelScale( size, 0 )
    self:SetViewOffset( size * VIEW_OFFSET )
    self:SetViewOffsetDucked( size * VIEW_OFFSET_DUCK )
    self:SetStepSize( size * STEP_SIZE )

    if ( size == 1 ) then
        self:ResetHull()
    elseif ( size < 1 ) then
        self:SetHull( HULL_MIN, size * HULL_MAX )
        self:SetHullDuck( HULL_DUCK_MIN, size * HULL_DUCK_MAX )
    else
        self:SetHull( HULL_MIN, HULL_MAX )
        self:SetHullDuck( HULL_DUCK_MIN, HULL_DUCK_MAX )
    end
end

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I will test this out and see if this fixes the problem I am having. (hopefully I can implement it right and not screw something up, as I am not a coder).
