Warning
ACK: Due to engine limitations (I guess), certain attack actions (shooting or knifing) may be performed from the camera view instead of the player's actual position. Address this problem by switching between available damage modes in the configuration.
ThirdPerson is a plugin for SwiftlyS2 that provides third-person camera functionality for Counter-Strike 2. It allows players to switch between first-person and third-person views with customizable camera settings, damage blocking options, and smooth camera movement.

ThirdPerson uses permission-based access control:
- If
Permissionis empty, all players can use third-person functionality. - If
Permissionis set, only players with that permission will be able to toggle third-person view.
For more details on configuring permissions, see the SwiftlyS2 permissions documentation and make sure to update your server's permissions.jsonc file.
- When a player uses the third-person command, the plugin creates a camera entity positioned behind the player.
- Camera positioning uses raycasting to avoid clipping through walls and provides collision detection.
- Damage blocking is implemented through entity damage hooks, preventing damage based on the configured mode.
- Smooth camera movement uses linear interpolation for fluid transitions between positions.
- The plugin hooks into game events (round start, player death, disconnect) for intelligent resource cleanup.
- Permission checks ensure only authorized players can access third-person functionality.
