The SET_VIEW() macro will allow you to change the player's view to another entity. For example... SET_VIEW(pPlayer->edict(), pSmashCam->edict()); ...will change the player's view to view from the SmashCam entity (assuming you've set the pPlayer and pSmashCam to the Player entity and SmashCam entity before this). Calling SET_VIEW() with the player edict for both parameters will set the player's camera back to within their own head, i.e.... SET_VIEW(pPlayer->edict(), pPlayer->edict()); Jeffrey "botman" Broome _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
