Better Third Person Camera file - Sven Co-op mod for Half-Life

DESCRIPTION:

Although you can already set third person camera through the command menu ("c" key) - you still should manually enter "thirdperson" command through the console to make it actually work, and since the camera's position relatively to the player's shoulder is not quite right either (according to classic third person games) - this script should slightly improve it.

So to all presets i've added missing "thirdperson" command (because they simply don't work without it) and edited "cam idealyaw" value from "0" to "20" (for right shoulder camera preset) to "-20" (for left shoulder camera preset) and added "First Person" preset (let it be there, why not).

Another (faster) way to switch between cameras is binding essential commands in "config.cfg" file to any keys you want, for example:

Right shoulder:

bind "v" "thirdperson;cam_idealpitch 0;cam_idealdist 80; cam_idealyaw 20;cam_snapto 1;cam_followaim 1"

Left shoulder:

bind "b" "thirdperson;cam_idealpitch 0;cam_idealdist 80; cam_idealyaw -20;cam_snapto 1;cam_followaim 1"

Back to first person:

bind "n" "firstperson"

To change camera's distance - edit the "cam_idealdist" value to any other you want (the smaller/bigger value - the closer/farther camera will be), feel free to experiment ;)

Script showcase (from 00:25 of the video, with using Nexon's M16A4 and Full Auto M16 script):

KNOWN ISSUES:

- Reload sounds aren't playing in third person (no idea why);

- For some reason "chase" commands (with help of which you can set camera's height) aren't working in Sven Co-op, if anyone knows the solution - please let me know.
