[Deathrun] Chat Command for third person 8 years 2 weeks ago #318080

Server Name: Deathrun server 1 & 2

Suggestion Title: Third Person chat command

How would it benefit the server?

Over the course of about 6 months of moderating deathrun I've noticed a lot of newbies asking how to use thirdperson and trying to use the chat command "!3p" or something like that to toggle it, so I think that for the sake of the new people to the deathrun community that we should add the command.

Potential Issues/Exploits?

I can't think of any issues or exploits.

Additional notes :

I've made a rough version of the code that could be used to make this happen, it's just a case of making it a .lua and adding it to a autorun folder.

Well its not really needed and i don't see how this would help, there is a third person function. Is it that annoying if people say it in chat?	rroobbiinn10xx Offline Diamond Boarder Zwarte piet is not racist Posts: 4052 Thanks received: 1739 Karma: 42

if ( CLIENT ) then


	local function toggle()

		local on = LocalPlayer():GetInfoNum("deathrun_thirdperson" , 0)
	
		if on == 0 then
		
			LocalPlayer():PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Third person mode enabled." )
			LocalPlayer():ConCommand("deathrun_thirdperson 1")

		else
		
			LocalPlayer():PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Third person mode disabled." )
			LocalPlayer():ConCommand("deathrun_thirdperson 0")
		end

	end

	concommand.Add( "thirdperson_toggle", toggle )

end

if ( SERVER ) then

	hook.Add("PlayerSay", "ThirdPerson", function (ply, text, public)
		text = string.lower( text )
		if (text == "!3p" or text == "!thirdperson") then
				ply:ConCommand("thirdperson_toggle")
				return("")
		end
	end)
end

If they were to turn it off the normal way through the f1 menu I think it would bug but this should fix it

Didn't think to add a check for that, thanks!
