If I attempt to modify the player angles in gamemovement, nothing changes, even though it is the last step pretty much, it should be able to overwrite everything else.
Adjusting the angles in playermove, does work, even though it is called way before gamemovement. I can adjust the viewangles (engine->SetViewAngles()) in gamemovement, but can't adjust the player angles at all. Your hierarchy is very helpful though, so thank you for that, but it seems like finishmove does not use the angles from gamemovement, the code is in there (player->SetLocalAngles( move->m_vecAngles );) but no matter what m_vecAngles is set at, nothing changes even the slightest. I was hoping that animstate would update relative to the model/entities position, but it does seem like it is overwriting anything sent back from gamemovement in regards to angles. If I adjust the angles in animstate it properly updates. I can do this without updating angles at all, simply with a barrel roll animation, but was hoping I could do it all code wise easily.
