Improved Camera SWEP

In 1 collection by Bell

Description
This tiny Lua file adds a panel when accessing the context menu to manually set the values of the camera SWEP when it is out so you can pick the adequate field of view and the view's roll angle for your shots.

You can see the current field of view and the view's roll angle in the HUD a little below where the crosshair would be.
It will get hidden automatically when taking shots. If you don't want to see it at all, check the corresponding box in the options panel.

Finally, you can lock the field of view and the view's roll angle from being changed when holding right click to prevent accidents using the corresponding checkbox in the options panel.

I made this for a friend, but tell me if you have any issue using this.

A great swep! I was looking for this for long. (Difficult to read, when the background is bright too. Bigger figures and/or a contrasting color behind the figures would be helpful. Beside that: 5 stars!)

Is it normal that i cannot tilt the camera view like, at all? even with the STOCK gmod camera?

These helper grid lines that some smartphone cameras use

grid lines?

Will be there an option to show grid lines?

Well, it seems that worked, I purged my addons of any ones I felt unnecessary and it appears to have fixed the problem, though I haven't been able to determine which addon was the culprit.

Not sure what would conflict, I have no other addons that change anything about the camera, albeit the tool nor the firstperson view. Probably something that doesn't have anything to do with the camera, I'll try to figure out which addon

Still works for me, probably conflicting addon.

It would seem I am having the problem PootisWizard is having, my menu is simply not showing up and the camera cannot zoom in, out, or change roll angle when holding right-click.
