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

[QUOTE=nagachief;20463061]I now appear to also be having the same issue that these people are having. This is what I got: [code] SmartsnapSnapView = function: 0350CBF0 DeathView = function: 0292D128 SBEPBMView = function: 0293B9A8 CTP CalcView = function: 0490ADB8 StarGate.CalcView.TeleportEffect = function: 30CA4FA8 SBEP_LiftDesigner_CalcView = function: 02949670 [/code][B]Edit:[/B] Something with SBEP is messing it up. If its the LiftDesigner, then I can still have the model pack...else...I will have to scrap CTP; SBEP is much more important. [B]Edit:[/B] Ok...it wasn't LiftDesigner (that doesn't work anyways). I've manually commented out the calcview hook for SBEPBMView and it seems to have worked. So as a heads up for people with SBEP. You need to open addons\SBEP_Experimental\lua\autorun\client\SBERTS_C.lua and comment out line 394. This will most likely break a part of SBEP, but you will be able to use this addon.[/QUOTE] I informed the author of SBEP of that, and he fixed it. You sure you're not outdated?

[QUOTE=CapsAdmin;20474461]I informed the author of SBEP of that, and he fixed it. You sure you're not outdated?[/QUOTE] Been a day since I've checked the SVN, I'll do it now. No new update, problem exists in revision 338 then still with lua autorun file SBERTS _C.lua.

[QUOTE=CapsAdmin;20491064]Report it then. [URL]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?p=20366362#post20366362[/URL][/QUOTE] I reported the issue with exact revision, addon, file, and code line.

Updated to work better with the latest update. I've removed all the animation fixes, cause there's no need for them. I can't remember what was in the last version but I've added the option to use alternate movement to stay within radius. This means you'll move relative to the camera, like in some RPG's. There's a drag thing too. Bind something to ctp_drag or +ctp_drag so you can drag the camera around. There are also some other things I've added which I can't remember what was. I also hear they're rolling back the update, but I'm guessing they'll keep the thirdperson animation stuff. At least I hope they will. [editline]02:46AM[/editline] Yeah update reverted. I can't be assed to revert this again. They'll probably add thirdperson stuff later or something. So you'll have to live with spazzy animations for now. :frown:

If I could remember how to make a lua cookie, I would make one, but i'm all out of LUA D: Anyway, you met my dream when I was bored of always being in firstperson all the time.

Whenever I'm in third person with this mod, I lag like hell. My game gets the jitters. Am I the only one?

[QUOTE=Lebowski;21676579]Whenever I'm in third person with this mod, I lag like hell. My game gets the jitters. Am I the only one?[/QUOTE] Not sure about this one. Does it also happen when you view yourself with a camera?

It never has before.

Okay, it looks like Mad Cows weapons were the culprit. I wasn't even using them, but as soon as I got rid of them CTP started working like a dream. Woops, didn't mean to doublepost.

Okay, cool. Remember that I disabled the laggy animations fixes. So you'll have to wait till the update with better animations is out for it to work 100% like a dream. :smile:

This is very cool, and I enjoy it greatly. However, one small issue I, and others have noticed: Occasionally, the camera glitches out and sets itself into the middle of the head. I can find no fix other then just rejoining the server. In the console it prints "Hook 'CTP CalcView' Failed: autorun/CTP.lua:249: Tried to use a NULL entity!" at the time the bug happens.

Does this happen when you target things? For now you can type "lua_openscript_cl autorun/ctp.lua" instead of rejoining. But I need to know when it happens. I'm using the function in several places. [editline]03:15PM[/editline] LocalPlayer (yourself) can't be NULL, it has to be when you're targetting stuff.

Nope, I don't use the targeting. Its most recent occurrence was after taking damage from a trigger_hurt, might be related, might not be.

What the hell? Mine doesn't work! Please help me.

I tried it but I have this problem where the third person is VERY zoomed in. I tried fiddling with every sliders that said zoom but it didnt help. Heres a picture: [url]https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/gm_construct0009.jpg?w=d6bf8988[/url]

Can you say what made the problem or something.

This is amazing

When using this, i get mass spam in my console AddBeam: Error - added too many beams![0/0] It does not show p on my screen but when going into console to type something all i see is this, fix please?

You have something else doing that on your player model or something. Does it also happen when you see yourself with a camera?

I'd have to check, but my camera HAS been crashing me when using your hat tool... Ok the following things are causing me to crash since update OR since i downloaded 2 of your addons: Dying, and clicking to respawn Viewing myself in camera with a suit (PAC) sometimes just when stopping/starting action (opening or closing the spaqnmenu and such. also toggling your CTP sometimes) These crashes are the kind that have the looping sounds, not an instant random close, and, because i have windows 7, i dont get a clear error message, just that my game has stopped working. As to your question, No, the addbeams error does nto show up when viewing in camera, but it DOES when using the sv_cheats thirdperson or your CTP thirdperson. EDIT: Heres a list of my addons: Wiresvm Phxsvn CTP PAC NPCControl Clippingtool(by Ralle) advanced dupe weight tool a few gamemodes Thats all i can think of...

there needs to be a button that resets ALL settings, not just the sliders.

im getting that thing that when in third person, it zooms into the back of the head, looks like this: [img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/77f000glitchisannoying.png[/img] [editline]11:26PM[/editline] this is even AFTER i uninstalled CTP

[QUOTE=CapsAdmin;21689308]Not sure about this one. Does it also happen when you view yourself with a camera?[/QUOTE] Got this problem too, although slightly different: When I start the thirdperson view, it runs smoothly, but after a few seconds it starts to "build up" lag. As in, my fps starts dropping a bit, and ever second a bit more. Until some critical point where it drops to 0 for a second and recovers again with perfect fps. And then it starts doing the same thing again. As too the camera thing, nope. Doesn't lag a bit. Nor does any other third person view I use produce that kind of fps drops. EDIT: small bit of information, using net_graph I can see that it isnt just my gpu fps that drops, but also the cpu fps. Drops to about 10, then hangs for a second ( as said before ). I'm gonna look if some addon I have is the cullprit, since there might just be one that causes it. EDIT2: some extra information, apparently the CTP menu has started going blank on me whenever I'm playing single player. It just displays nothing. It didn't display any errors in console though, so I'm not sure what is causing it. On the laggy thing, I've noticed the camera has trouble keeping up with the player at the time my fps drops. It's also related to how much stuff there is on the screen, meaning things like npc's running around will make the lagging worse. As if the CTP addon drains nearly 100% cpu, and every tiny bit too much on the map makes it go nuts. On a related note, the +ctp_target command has failed working. I binded it to a key, I set the settings right, but it just doesn't do anything anymore. I also tried rebinding the key, ect ect, yet nothing worked.

Is there someway to just copy a part of the code? so as soon as a person spawn the camera is already in third person, without the menu, since im making a deathmatch based gamemode :)

You don't need to use CTP, you just need to use default Valve console thirdperson and tweak the settings for the server (something like cl_yaw, cl_roll and another thing, but I haven't used since I fixed default thirdperson last time). Although I agree that CTP would have better functions. Perhaps a setting to make it server-default enabled so if you don't have it, you still play in third person but if you do, you can't change the preset.

This looks really cool! The list picture is unavailable though.

Is there a way to make it so this is only active when you enter a vehicle?

[QUOTE=CapsAdmin;23959885]The point of ctp is to be able to use thirdperson without cheats.[/QUOTE] I know (it [B]is [I]Clientside[/I][/B]). I was just talking about the Serverside Thirdperson and a possible setting for another version (if there are going to be more updates).
