[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
I call it in CViewRender::Render, like so:
// copy the normal view, we don't want to modify this
CViewSetup vRagdollView = m_View;
g_pLocalRagdoll->GetAttachment( g_pLocalRagdoll->LookupAttachment( "Helmet"
),
vRagdollView.origin,
vRagdollView.angles );
// render it
RenderView( vRagdollView, false );
