Yeah, if you're using cameras with any chance of overlapping changelevels in your project, it's good practice to put a SET_VIEW resetting call in one of the player initialization functions to avoid having the player's altered camera viewpoint carried over from the previous level.
A good place to put it is in CBasePlayer::Spawn(). Just add, somewhere near the top: SET_VIEW(edict(), edict()); and you're done :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas"TTJ"Ritter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, November 17, 2002 12:06 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] engine bug found! 99% sure > >This bug happens if your using a trigger_camera while a map changes. > >You have to time the trigger camera to 'run out' just before the level > changes. > > Sure, but I want that the player is seeing the "stage completed" screen > while loading. > > When I adjust the multimanager/camera for example: > trigger_changelevel 5 sec > hold time camera 4.9 sec > > It will work but the player will see the "map" while loading and not the > "stage completed" screen. > > > SET_VIEW(pPlayerEdict, pPlayerEdict); > > When should I do this?
