Absolutely correct. That was a misstatement. I did not access the entvars structure in pm_shared - AFAIK, you can't. I'm not 100% sure what I tried before with respect to this in pm_shared. Maybe I didn't try it, since the angles in pmove->angles are view angles, I may have assumed that it wouldn't change the model's orientation. You can confirm this by setting pev->v_angle to something in CBasePlayer::PreThink then examining pmove->angles in PM_Move (BEFORE PM_CheckParamters). They are overwritten by the input angles in PM_CheckParamters. I went back and tried modifying pmove->angles, and, provided I did it after PM_CheckParamters, the angles came back in pev->angles in CBasePlayer::PostThink. (not as view angles this time - weird, huh?). With regard to the 3rd person perspective, it seems to work OK to me. The only reason I use it is it's inconvenient to set up to test things over my network at home. I'll try it when I get home, and verify whether there is any difference between 3rd person and doing it from another player's perspective. I've seen "jumps" in the model rotation due to a difference in the interpretation of the angles by the code that renders the model (at least I think that's what is causing it). I'm trying to figure out the relationships of the angles passed in and the resulting orientation of the model; it isn't all that straightforward. It's possible some of it might be due to 3rd person, but the time I did try it from another player's view, it still didn't behave as expected. I'll also respond off the list, as I would be interested in helping if you need help, and I'll describe some of my ideas. Sorry if this is fragmented or incoherent, I've been called away several times while writing it.
