[PSA] Weapon Creators! You can get a Clients FOV!

[Ipquarx]

I cannot state how many times I've been so incredibly annoyed that I have to type some /fixFov command just so that my FoV won't be reset every time i switch out weapons or scope in. It's completely unnecessary as there's already a function to get a clients FoV!

The function is:
%client.getControlCameraFov(); and %player.getCameraFov();

If you're trying to author a weapon which changes FOV based on, for example scoping, save this to a variable when you start scoping in and set the fov to that variable when unscoping.

This means no more /fixfov. I'd also love it if existing weapon packs could be fixed so this isn't an issue anymore.

Gravity Cat is the one that started /fixFov.

Gravity Cat is the one that started /fixFov.

that was before when the fov functions were broken and didn't actually return anything but 90

Ah, I never even knew this was an issue. Perhaps someone could re-release those weapons with the /fixfov commands so that it's no longer required?

Even a list of the addons that include it would be helpful.

forget YES

I know of at least one that just assumes a default FOV of 90 (nekram's ""stuffty"" pack) so a version that doesn't make this incorrect assumption using these functions that sadly haven't been taken advantage of would be fantastic (even though I wouldn't personally benefit since I use a edited version of said pack).

I'm going to be working on removing the need for /fixFov in gravity cat's raycasting weapons. Any other addons that need to be fixed besides Nekram's?

the warfare pack also has this issue, being a derivative of nekram's pack

Going to be contacting the makers of the add-ons to see if they can update their versions to the ones I provide, and if not then I'll be posting them in a separate addon thread.
