If you're familiar with source engine console variables editing, then you could do interesting stuff with these variables.
For example, here's a bind command that switches your shoulder side when you press B key.
bind b "toggle thirdperson_etp_offset_y -40 40"

Bugs
  • Camera may be "broken" by addons impacting camera, less commonly movement. If you enabled addons that include those things, it is highly propable that they will conflict with this addon.
    Dev explanation: That is due to CalcView hook override, any addon that overrides that hook and returns something might conflict with this addon. I could've changed the hook priority to high for those using ULiB but decided not to, cos the addon is not supposed to work with other addons that modify view angles. If you REALLY want some POPULAR addon to work with this addon, you could ask in comments, if I'm free and in the mood for some fixing, I'll try to make it compatible if it's possible.

why the hell does my view change perspectives when i move my volume slider on my headset
AirBlack  [author] 7 Sep @ 8:18am 
Didn’t test but should be compatible
happy 7 Sep @ 8:11am 
is it compatible with mw base?
AirBlack  [author] 6 Sep @ 11:54am 
Yes it's possible, if such feature is really needed I could implement it yes
Potato PC[TW] 5 Sep @ 8:33pm 
Is it possible to detect walls and automatically adjust the camera's left and right angles?
If not, at least make sure the camera isn't distracted by NPC or players.
This is because whenever an NPC passes behind me, the camera instantly zooms in to the closest distance.
By the way, when the crosshair is pointed at glass or wire mesh, it doesn't focus on the object behind it, but only on the object itself. Is there a way to change this?

oh okay
AirBlack  [author] 27 Aug @ 6:08pm 
Yes it does, altho aim zoom doesn't work with ARC9, it stops modifying FOV if it detects thirdperson mode for some reason
CaliforniaEAS 27 Aug @ 4:56pm 
does it work for ARC9 Weapon Base?
AirBlack  [author] 21 Aug @ 7:52pm 
Pushed an update fixing this issue. If you get it randomly, check thirdperson settings, maybe you've set up freelook bind to an undesired key which you accidentally press sometimes, which causes this error. Error will be gone, but an unwanted bind is also bad, so be advised. Thanks for the report!
