Ok, I know I have code from an addon, but I just want this for personal use. How would I change this so that it works? again, I acknowledge that this download http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=61884 exists and i do not have any intention of reuploading. I just want it so that it works in single player. With that, here goes:

///////////////////////////////////////////////
////// Jinto gets full credit for this code /////
//////////////////////////////////////////////

// server
//If you’re hosting a server and have this, but don’t want to send it to joining players, comment out the lines between point1 and point2
//point1
if( SERVER ) then

 AddCSLuaFile( "autorun/fpdeath.lua" );

end
//point2

// client
if( CLIENT ) then

 local function CalcView( pl, origin, angles, fov )

     // get their ragdoll
   local ragdoll = pl:GetRagdollEntity();
   if( !ragdoll || ragdoll == NULL || !ragdoll:IsValid() ) then return; end
   
    // find the eyes
    local eyes = ragdoll:GetAttachment( ragdoll:LookupAttachment( "eyes" ) );
    
     // setup our view
     local view = {
         origin = eyes.Pos,
         angles = eyes.Ang,
		 fov = 90, 
     };
    
      //
     return view;
 
  end
  hook.Add( "CalcView", "DeathView", CalcView );
  
   //

end

Oh, and what’s the symbol/codeword you use to place that neat little text box so lua coding looks all nice and organized?

[noparse][lua][/lua][/noparse] are the tags you’re looking for.

Ok, thanks. Now: needed code modification for proper single player death views? By the way, I heard that it works on multiplayer, never really tried it out.

#4

Here’s a modified version taken from GMDM:

[lua]local LastStrafeRoll = 0
local WalkTimer = 0
local VelSmooth = 0
local DeathSmooth = 0
function GM:CalcView( ply, origin, angle, fov )
if !ply:Alive() then
local rag = ply:GetRagdollEntity()
if !rag then return end
local att = rag:GetAttachment( rag:LookupAttachment(“eyes”) )
if att then
att.Pos = att.Pos + att.Ang:Forward() * 1

		origin = att.Pos
		angle = att.Ang
	end
	fov = 55
end

return self.BaseClass:CalcView(ply,origin,angle,fov)

end
[/lua]

For the record, saying “This was made by Jinto and I take no credit” calmly and one time is enough to put down most naysayers. Shouting it at us that many times is just annoying.

#5

I copied the code directly. The creator himself said “This was made by Jinto”. Thanks anyway.

#6

So you’re saying the creator, who isn’t Jinto, said Jinto is the creator?

#7

Pretty much. The uploader on garrysmod.org is asisel.

#8

Wait, I tried it by putting it in the lua/autorun folder, then these showed up when the game started:

LuaGetfile: Not Loading autorun/first person.lua
Couldn’t include file ‘autorun/first person.lua’ (File not found)

And obviously, I can’t get a first person view of my death.

#9

Try putting it in your autorun/client. Also, never ever put spaces in your file names - it’s bad practice.
