Take a look at my 3rd Person Tutorial here:
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Creating_a_Third_Person_Camera
That will show you how to implement a key to change it... but otherwise,
if you want it permanently, use the HL2_Player::Spawn function but do:
ClientCmd("thirdperson")
Instead of input->.

Thanks everyone, I have that working, but there are two more problems I have:
When I switch to third-person mode, the model is still the
first-person model (ie. there is half a gun, and another arm sticking
out). How would I go about stopping that? Do I have to edit the
model?
My other (much simpler) question is this: at what point am I supposed
to switch to third-person mode? Entity spawn is too early, what would
be an appropriate time?
Any help with these would be much appreciated.

you are still in 1st person because the CInput::CAM_ToThirdPerson()
containe the following code
#if !defined( TF2_CLIENT_DLL ) && !defined( CSTRIKE_DLL )
#if !defined( _DEBUG )
if ( gpGlobals->maxClients > 1 )
{
// no thirdperson in multiplayer.
return;
}
#endif
#endif
you probably have to comment this lines
Lachlan Gunn a écrit :
input->CAM_ToThirdPerson();
Where am I supposed to put this in? Because I've put it in the player
spawn code, but it's still in first person....I'm not sure when I'm
supposed to switch to third person.

Hi,
Sorry if this is an amazingly stupid question, but how would I go
about switching a player to third-person view? There is a function in
CInput, but I cannot find an instance to call it from.
