Lua/Events/Client/CalcView

Name	CalcView
Arguments (in table)	None
Return option	Return false to disable the local player.

Description

This event is the only place you should change the camera position and rotation. It is ran every frame.

If false is returned, your character will become disabled; that is, invisible and unable to move. Your character will still be visible to others, however. This is useful if you want to have some sort of spectate mode.

Examples

Rotate the camera around a nice view of Panau

Foo = function()
	local angle = Angle(os.clock() * 0.2, -0.2, 0)
	Camera:SetAngle(angle)
	local position = angle * Vector3(0, 0, 16384)
	Camera:SetPosition(position)
 
	return false
end
 
Events:Subscribe("CalcView", Foo)

First-person mode

Foo = function()
	Camera:SetPosition(LocalPlayer:GetBonePosition("ragdoll_Head"))
 
	return true
end
 
Events:Subscribe("CalcView", Foo)
