2D playertype

[Swollow]

I heard a lot of people said its not possible couldn't you just make the player have no left and right speed and then make there camera aimed to one side of them?

Can't be done.

[Demian]

Yes. Everything else is easy.

Space Guy but the player type was very hacky and far too laggy for conventional use. This matter has been discussed too many times over the years and every time the answer is the same. It cannot be done.

is it possible to like stick someone into freelooking left or right?

[Jasa1]

findclientbyname("yournamehere").player.setplayerscale("1 0.1 1");

[Swollow]

findclientbyname("yournamehere").player.setplayerscale("1 0.1 1"); tl;dr

I was talking about sideways cameras not a flat player

I think there might be a third person camera node or something, but I'm not sure. There's already camera offset in scripts, and I'm pretty sure that camera angle is possible too, so this has a chance of being possible.

There is a topdown player though. Why not put instead make the camera on the side of the player instead on top and take away its ability to move left and right. Only problem would be turning around though.

I believe it was Chrono or Truce who said this.
The player camera cannot be angle to be at the side of the player, it is protected in the default game files. The 2D player type that was made before was a bot that spawned to the side of you the result of this was a very hacky/glitchy script.

In simplier terms, in cannot be done in an efficient way. There are no "what if"'s when something is protected in the default game scripts. The only way to do it would be a very glitchy/hacky work around.

thank you someone who answer my curiosity finally.
