I have been trying this method
[lua]

ply:SnapEyeAngles(Angle(0,180,0)) // Random angle too test
[/lua]

put this in your entities cl_init.lua

[lua]function ENT:CalcView( ply, origin, angles, fov )
local view = {}
view.origin = origin + ply:GetForward() *-200 +Vector(0,0,150)
view.angles = ply:GetAimVector():Angle()–+Angle(0,180,0)
return view
end
[/lua]

might need some optimizing for your specific entity , but this is what i use for mine.
