Its nice to know that your still working on your mod:

I think you could have an entity be x units above the player (x being how high above the player you want the camera to be) then set the view point to that (I am unsure how you would go about doing this) then set

Code: Select all

self.angles_x = entity.angles_x;
self.angles_y = entity.angles_y;


I don't think you have to do angle_z because I believe that is the view height which you don't want to match the player model's view height.

Make sure your entity is SOLID_NOT

To be honest, I am most likely wrong with everything I said in this post, just a warning,

What engine are you using? If it's DP or FTE then just use CSQC. I actually already have CSQC code for just what you're looking to do..
