Fretta/Base First Person Death Bug

[ChaosWolf]

when a player dies, they are stuck motionless in first person view rather then spectator, they ragdoll. ive done everything I know how to do and I am simply sick of it. im not too proud to ask for help if I need it. Fretta is sentient and has a mind of her own. I need somebody who can appease her so that this curse will end. how do I set it up so my users no longer ragdoll when they die. just spectate...?

Hello,
take a look at this dummy code:

Code: [Select]

function GM:DoPlayerDeath( ply )
ply:DropWeapon(ply:GetActiveWeapon())
ply:CreateRagdoll()
        ply:SetTeam(TEAM_SPECTATOR)
        ply:Spectate(OBS_MODE_ROAMING)
ply:SpectateEntity(nil)
        ply:SetPos(ply:EyePos())
end

Here are some functions that will help you:
SetTeam, aswell as Spectate and those two hooks: DoPlayerDeath and PlayerDeath.

ok so I tried it out no script errors occurred, it labels the name of the person im spectating at the bottom as it should, indicating that I am in fact spectating, however, I can only see first person view.

Hello,

Code: [Select]

ply:Spectate(OBS_MODE_ROAMING)
Puts the player in freecam / "roaming mode".
Try it without SpectateEntity, as this is used for spectating players.

Also take a look at the PlayerSpawn Hook:

Code: [Select]

if ply:Team() == TEAM_SPECTATOR then
ply:Spectate(OBS_MODE_ROAMING)
return
end

tried that and all it did was as it should, set the cam into what would be freeroam. and you "Start" spectator in freeroam rather then starting with eyes on a player, it reads and reners fine. but im stuck in first person view. you would have to see for yourself to understand what I mean 100% if your willing to take a moment and actually see the issue first hand, even blasteh with everyone's banana was confused by it. its a unique bug.

Hello,
I went ahead, added ChaosWolf to my friends list and tried to help him out.

I came to the conclusion, that this issue is caused by one of many addons/workshop items/autorun files, as the gamemode (PropHunt) works fine whilst playing without any addons or testing it locally!

I recommend removing all your custom content and testing one by one, also do not use workshop, use FastDL instead!

well its not in my addons folder, and its not in my lua folder, because I removed addons completely and ran the server without them. then ran the server using a stock lua from SteamCMD and the error still occurred. so after returning my addons I need a new lead as to where I could possibly look to pry out the cause.
