Thirdperson-OrangeBox

Enabling thirdperson

in the developer console,

sv_cheats 1
thirdperson

Spawning players in thirdperson

Make the following changes to in_camera.cpp:

• change

void CInput::Init_Camera( void )
{
	m_CameraIsOrthographic = false;
}

to

void CInput::Init_Camera( void )
{
	m_CameraIsOrthographic = false;
	m_fCameraInThirdPerson = true;
}

Then, to keep Source from changing it back to firstperson, disable the sv_cheats check by commenting out the following lines in CAM_Think

// If cheats have been disabled, pull us back out of third-person view.
	 if ( sv_cheats && !sv_cheats->GetBool() )
	{
		CAM_ToFirstPerson();
		return;
	}

change to:

/*  We're using a third-person camera, don't mess with it
// If cheats have been disabled, pull us back out of third-person view.
	 if ( sv_cheats && !sv_cheats->GetBool() )
	{
		CAM_ToFirstPerson();
		return;
	}
*/
