Single Player Third-person model

[ashiitaka]

Hi All hopefulyl someone can help me here cuz ive tried for days to sort this but so-far had no luck.

Making a mod and have managed to get the camera sorted how i want it for a third person PoV.

however I am unable to set the model to anything ?! ive tried tutorials i have found on the Wiki and in other places online and nothing seems to work ?! does anyone who has made a working third person single player mod have any suggestions or things i can try ?

I do have a nasty feeling that i have messed some files up during my "fiddling" yet the mod still seems to work without error.

Any help is greatly appreciated

its been a long time since ive looked at the forums and resources but back when i was using source this was a big problem to do 3rd person. the main reason beeing that in third person view it didnt blend the animations properly and if you built the game in multiplayer it didnt allow for enemys. if this is a multiplayer mod then i suggest doing it all in third person and you should have any problems accept with the rotation of the camera/player as the player will follow as the camera looks around which is annoying.

I got third person working fine. However, if you try and go multiplayer, you WILL have multiple problems with prediction of your own players model. Valve didn't bother coding prediction around your own model since you're not supposed to even be seeing it in the first place. Yay for optimization!
