The best way is to check that i pm_shared.c. Here is some code i use in
Project Timeless:
if (...)
{
pmove->angles[YAW] = newangles ;
#ifdef CLIENT_DLL
if ( pmove->runfuncs )
{
iHasNewViewAngles = true;
VectorCopy (pmove->angles, vecNewViewAngles)
}
#endif
}
You can insert it where you want the pm-code to check the angles, for
example in the case part of MOVETYPE_WALK in PM_PlayerMove().
