It's probably a bit hacky.. I'll have to move it over since I added it
in derived Lua stuff.
The problem I found was in the function
bool CBasePlayer::SetObserverMode(int mode )
the block
case OBS_MODE_CHASE :
case OBS_MODE_IN_EYE :
// udpate FOV and viewmodels
SetObserverTarget( m_hObserverTarget );
SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_OBSERVER );
break;
should really be
case OBS_MODE_CHASE :
case OBS_MODE_IN_EYE :
// udpate FOV and viewmodels
SetObserverTarget( m_hObserverTarget );
SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_NONE );
break;
It doesn't seem to have any knock on effect as far as I can tell.. but
I haven't tested it a lot.
I think the problem was that somewhere down the line the
OBS_MODE_DEATHCAM became redundant because OBS_MODE_CHASE is used
instead.. but this bit of code wasn't updated.
