Angles are weird while sitting

[Raven-legacy_2 (-Raven-)]

So I had the player sit down in a seat, and when trying to adjust my eye angles, it just wouldn’t work. At all. Looked it up and found this. Apparently a source problem? Anyone know a way around this?

Just for reference, I am trying to set the player eye angles to that of the seat.

Well, the link you found has the following at the bottom of the first post:

Here’s a possible fix.

ply:EyeAngles() is NOT wrong. It is in fact the CAMERA that is angled wrong.

CalcView in base gamemode receives the wrong angles from the server: https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod/blob/master/garrysmod/gamemodes/base/gamemode/cl_init.lua#L354
Garry’s third person vehicle CalcView uses fucked up these angles: https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod/blob/master/garrysmod/gamemodes/base/gamemode/cl_init.lua#L316
To fix all these problems, all you have to do is not use the angles the Source engine gives you. Instead, you use ply:EyeAngles() (probably have to WorldToLocalit) and voila, problem solved. That’s third person fixed. Now you just have to use CalcView for first person as well, and that problem is also solved.

Did you try that fix?

Well… no, because it isn’t really related to my problem (or at least I think so). I am trying to set the angles of the player eyes, while they are seated, to the angles of the vehicle I am making. Very simple what I’m trying to do:

-- inside ENT:Use( activator, caller )
activator:SetEyeAngles( self:GetAngles() )

except that doesn’t work.

I’m sorry if that sounds vague. I don’t really know how else to put it (just want to make sure everyone reading understands my problem).
