point_viewcontrol not working

[vtf]

When using point_viewcontrol, and activating it with a func_button, with the output: OnDamaged, targetting the entity "camera" (my point_viewcontrol's name). Compiling the map, and shooting the button, it does not change perspective. I know this is a really stupid thread, and i need to fix this

oh wow crazy recent. i too am having this issue. i trigger the viewcontrol with enable but nothing happens.

I have a vague recollection that if you use OnDamaged, the !activator will be the weapon that caused the damage, *not* the player. You might try using the OnPressed output and ticking the 'Damage activates' flag.

that might not be the fix if he is having the same issue as me. i am enabling the point_viewcontrol every way possible and it just will not work. i wonder if an update broke point_viewcontrol completely or something.

Could you send us more information? Flags and Class Info tab to be exact

Try removing Snap to goal angles flag, but before that try enabling it in-game with ent_fire
sv_cheats 1 required.
ent_fire cam1 Enable

ok so it actually works with ent_fire. could it be because the server is triggering it in a multiplayer game but typing it into console is from the client side?

 

[vtf]

shit just use !activator it works

 

[Evatron]

wait but !activator is a target? can you show me your setup?
