I just fixed this problem in GMod. When a player is a spectator his body is non solid so keeps falling through the enviroment.
In my mod I just made it set the player's movetype to MOVETYPE_NONE if he's spectating an entity. It seems to fix the problem (You can verify by ent_text 2 or whatever the player's entity index is) On 3/10/06, Adam amckern Mckern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The seen area in VHE displacemnts is not the real > render level (clip plane or what ever its called) > > There is a button that you can click in VHE that will > show you where the cliping will be - it might be that > your player spawns are in the cliping, and as such the > engine is moving them under it to spawn.
