How To Third Person In Gmod



Hit the tilde on your keyboard (it’s the little squiggle: ) to bring up the console. You’ll then see a prompt, where you can type “svcheats 1” and then “thirdperson.” If your server has cheats enabled, you can just type in “thirdperson.” Type all of these without quotation marks, by the way. In hl2 (gmod’s base), there are very few weapon holdtypes for melee, meaning that if you’re interested in a better-quality melee animation, you’d need to find an a way to add a custom holdtype. To the best of my knowledge, this is not possible.

In Bedrock Edition, it can be changed in the settings; this is the only way to switch the camera when using touch to play games.

In China Bedrock Edition, it can be changed in HUD.

When in third-person view, the player can be viewed from an angle of 0 degrees (Y axis) when the mouse is leveled with the ground, up to an angle of 90 degrees when looking straight down toward the player.

If the player suffocates while in this mode, the camera automatically switches back to the first-person view. This does not apply to Pocket Edition.

A third person front view can also be seen while the survivalinventory is open; the player, in this case, always faces the cursor.

History[edit]

How To Put Third Person In Gmod

Java Edition Indev
20100218The player can now be seen in the previously solid black square in the inventory.
Java Edition Alpha
v1.0.5Third person view no longer causes water particles to surround the player. This may have been an artifact of the F5 rain toggle.
v1.0.14Pressing F5 now switches the view to third person view. When in third person view, the player is off center by one block to the left, giving an 'over-the-shoulder' appearance.
Because mobs looked at the camera and not the player's head, in third person view they looked at the wrong location.
v1.0.17The player is now centered when in third person view.
v1.2.0?Holding F1 while in third person view now causes the front of the player to be shown.
Java Edition Beta
1.3The front of the player is no longer shown by holding F1 while in third person view.
Java Edition
1.0.0Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5The debugging view manipulation, known in the code as the 'deadmau5 camera',[1] was accidentally enabled.
This feature causes the keys Y, H, U, O, I, K, J, L, N, and M to change the camera position in a variety of ways, and pressing F9 freezes the view. Pressing two functionally connected keys at the same time reverts the view back to normal, except pressing U + O.
This feature was added only for deadmau5.[1]
Beta 1.9 Prerelease 6The deadmau5 camera was removed.
releasePressing F5 twice now switches the camera to the front of the player, while it now takes a third press of F5 to switch back into first person view.
1.2.112w08aThe deadmau5 camera was accidentally added again.[2]
The sides of the player's head may now be shown when rotating the view using the deadmau5 camera.
1.2The deadmau5 camera was removed again.
?Being inside of a block no longer reverts the player's view to first person.
1.14?No longer blocked by most non solid blocks like grass.
1.1620w12aNo longer obstructed by glass and other such blocks.
However, it is still obstructed by fences, slime blocks, honey blocks and ice, despite these being transparent or translucent like other such blocks; this is completely intentional.[3]
Pocket Edition Alpha
v0.1.2Added an option for third person view.
v0.12.1build 6Added the front third person view.
Bedrock Edition
1.2.1The crosshair no longer appears in third person view.
