[CS:S] How is this thing called?.. How to disable it?

[iPlayer]

Hey there,

I'm currently fighting a little CS:S thingy that keeps your camera attached to your ragdoll after death. For about 5 or 6 seconds with the disabled freezecam.
With enabled freezecam things are more complicated. If there was an attacker, you'll get a nice view of your attacker, but there wasn't (suicide), you'll get same 5-6 seconds of viewing your own body.

Tried to play around with

Code: Select all

cl_disablefreezecam

on a client and

Code: Select all

sv_disablefreezecam

on a server, no luck so far.

The reason I'm asking is because the very moment the camera detaches from the body and goes to free-look, MoTD page gets reloaded - and that's really messes my MOTDPlayer behavior.

Is there any cvar to change the time your camera is attached to your ragdoll for or, maybe, completely disable it?

Thanks.

why do you think freezecam is calling motd refresh?

[iPlayer]

I have no idea. Must be some weird behavior of the client.

[iPlayer]

Code: Select all

spec_freeze_time -99

Did the trick. What's interesting, simply setting it to 0 reduced the time I was freezecammed, but didn't completely disable it. With spec_freeze_time -99 I get out of freezecam instantly.

Problem solved, MoTD no longer refreshes.

Thanks.

Thanks! Will play around with that, too. But I believe if I set it manually on player_death, the game will still reset it 5 (spec_freeze_time) seconds later?
