Thank you very much for the pointers Hasan.
I have the peeking working, although now that I have it working I may change
it so it is more of a roll of the player instead of just shifting the camera
over.
But thanks again for the help...

Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Peeking - Left / Right
There was a player method to get forward, right and up directions ..
not sure exactly what is it .. something like EyeVectors(&forward,
&up, &right) where you pass vector pointers to it and it puts the
direction in them.
this gives you the right direction of the player, you can get the left
easily (it's the negative of the right) "left = -right;" if that
doesn't work, try "left = right * -1";
now if you call "VectorMA( original_offset, 21, right, &new_offset );"
it shopuld set new_offset to correctly represent your new desired
offset.

Ok I have the peeking somewhat working but still totally not correct..
I am basically changing the default view from 0,0,64 to -21,0,64
When facing North (I think that is the right direction ) works great :)
However when I move for example facing EAST I no longer lean left I lean
back or if im facing SOUTH I am not leaning right...
Which is not correct.
I am using player->SetViewOffset to set the camera view.
I guess my problem is not sure how to be able to SetViewOffset depending
on
the direction of the player player.
I had looked at the VectorMA, not sure what info I need to pass to this
however.
I want to lean left / right about 15 - 20 degrees...
