Thanks for the advice I re-checked the original camera code for third
person, and noticed that it didn't turn off third person shoulder view, and
it didn't restore the camera distance, so I modified it like this :
void CInput::CAM_ToThirdPerson(void)
> {
> ASSERT_LOCAL_PLAYER_RESOLVABLE();
> PerUserInput_t &user = GetPerUser();
> QAngle viewangles;
>
> engine->GetViewAngles( viewangles );

> //if( !user.m_fCameraInThirdPerson )
> //{
> user.m_fCameraInThirdPerson = true;
> c_thirdpersonshoulder.SetValue( false );
> cam_idealdist.SetValue( cam_idealdist.GetDefault() );
>
> user.m_vecCameraOffset[ YAW ] = viewangles[ YAW ];
> user.m_vecCameraOffset[ PITCH ] = viewangles[ PITCH ];
> user.m_vecCameraOffset[ DIST ] = CAM_MIN_DIST;

and now it works perfectly :) thanks !
