Legs in Firstperson

This is a copy and paste tutorial that will allow you to see your legs in first person.

Note:This only works in Single Player 2007 Engine (OB). It will not work in a multiplayer mod because it replaces the actual third person model to a new model without arms or head.

Note:This currently does not work in Source SDK 2013.

For a Source 2013 version use the guide created by KYPT1: Click here.

Requirements

• A single player mod running on Source SDK 2007
• A 3D modeling application (XSI, 3ds Max, Blender, etc.)
• First person animation model pack (available here)
• Knowledge of C++

Animation state system implementation

You will need to follow the code by Malortie to get this to work properly.

Create these two files in the src/game/shared/ folder of your mod.

Full implementation

c_baseplayer.h

Search for bool IsInFreezeCam( void ); and under it add:

bool IsInEye( void );

Search for virtual int DrawModel( int flags ); and under it add:

const Vector &C_BasePlayer::GetRenderOrigin();

c_baseplayer.cpp

Search for the function bool IsInFreezeCam( void ) and under it add:

bool IsInEye( void )
{
	C_BasePlayer *pPlayer = C_BasePlayer::GetLocalPlayer();
	if ( pPlayer && pPlayer->GetObserverMode() == OBS_MODE_IN_EYE )
		return true;
}

Next, search for bool C_BasePlayer::ShouldDraw() and make it look like this:

bool C_BasePlayer::ShouldDraw()
{
	return BaseClass::ShouldDraw();
}

then and under that add:

static ConVar cl_legs( "cl_legs", "1", FCVAR_CHEAT, "Enable or disable player leg rendering", true, 0, true, 1 );
static ConVar cl_legs_origin_shift( "cl_legs_origin_shift", "-17", FCVAR_CHEAT, "Amount in game units to shift the player model relative to the direction the player is facing" );
static ConVar cl_legs_clip_height( "cl_legs_clip_height", "0", FCVAR_CHEAT, "Amount in game units of the player model to render up to [0 = disable]", true, 0, false, 0 );

const Vector &C_BasePlayer::GetRenderOrigin( void )
{
	// If we're not observing this player, or if we're not drawing it at the
	// moment then use the normal absolute origin.
	// NOTE: the GetCurrentlyDrawingEntity check is here to make sure the
	// shadow is rendered from the correct origin
	if( !IsInEye() || view->GetCurrentlyDrawingEntity() != this )
		return BaseClass::GetRenderOrigin();

	// Get the forward vector
	static Vector forward; // static because this method returns a reference
	AngleVectors(GetRenderAngles(), &forward);

	// Shift the render origin by a fixed amount
	forward *= cl_legs_origin_shift.GetFloat();
	forward += GetAbsOrigin();

	return forward;
}

Now, in the int C_BasePlayer::DrawModel( int flags ) function add:

	CMatRenderContextPtr context( materials );

	if ( cl_legs_clip_height.GetInt() > 0 )
	{
		context->SetHeightClipMode( MATERIAL_HEIGHTCLIPMODE_RENDER_BELOW_HEIGHT );
		context->SetHeightClipZ( GetAbsOrigin().z + cl_legs_clip_height.GetFloat() );
	}

Now, search for the void C_BasePlayer::AddEntity( void ) function and under

	// Add in lighting effects
	CreateLightEffects();

add:

	SetLocalAnglesDim( X_INDEX, 0 );

hl2_player.h

Add #include "singleplayer_animstate.h" to the top of the file.

Now, go to the end of the public: section in the class CHL2_Player class and add

void SetAnimation( PLAYER_ANIM playerAnim );

Now, go right to the end of the class, in the private: section and add:

	CSinglePlayerAnimState *m_pPlayerAnimState;
	QAngle m_angEyeAngles;

hl2_player.cpp

Add

#define PLAYER_MODEL "models/player.mdl"

with all the other #define's

Now, search for

void CHL2_Player::Precache( void )

and add:

PrecacheModel( PLAYER_MODEL );

Now, search for

void CHL2_Player::Spawn(void)

and find the following line

SetModel( "models/player.mdl" );

and set it to:

SetModel( PLAYER_MODEL );

Now, search for CHL2_Player::~CHL2_Player( void ) and make it look like this:

CHL2_Player::~CHL2_Player( void )
{
	// Clears the animation state.
	if ( m_pPlayerAnimState != NULL )
	{
	    m_pPlayerAnimState->Release();
	    m_pPlayerAnimState = NULL;
	}
}

Now, search for CHL2_Player::CHL2_Player() and make it look like:

CHL2_Player::CHL2_Player()
{
	m_pPlayerAnimState = CreatePlayerAnimationState( this );
	m_angEyeAngles.Init();

	m_nNumMissPositions = 0;
	m_pPlayerAISquad = 0;
	m_bSprintEnabled = true;

	m_flArmorReductionTime = 0.0f;
	m_iArmorReductionFrom = 0;
}

Now, head up to void CHL2_Player::PostThink( void ) and make it look like this:

void CHL2_Player::PostThink( void )
{
	BaseClass::PostThink();

	if ( !g_fGameOver && !IsPlayerLockedInPlace() && IsAlive() )
	{
		HandleAdmireGlovesAnimation();

	QAngle angles = GetLocalAngles();
	angles[PITCH] = 0;

Creating the model

If you do create a custom model for this, look at the original player.mdl SMD files found in the provided archive for reference.

When creating the actual model make it look like the one in gordon_body_ref.smd or like in the picture here (REMOVED).
