// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
function clientCmdDoRecoil(%type)
{
switch$ (%type)
{
case "Extreme":
%Pitch = getrandom(-1, -2)/10;
%Yaw = getrandom(-4, 4)/100;
ToggleRecoil( %Pitch, %Yaw );
schedule(250, 0, "ToggleRecoil", -%Pitch, -%Yaw);
}
}
function ToggleRecoil(%Pitch, %Yaw)
{
$mvPitch += %Pitch;
$mvYaw += %Yaw;
}
function testR()

Hehe, I see that trick is still floating around :)

Cool stuff...if you only use the first person camera. ;)

Actually it looks even better from an over-the-shoulder view, doesnt look bad from third-person either.

Maybe I implemented it incorrectly. I'm seeing camera shake instead of weapon recoil when I do third-person view.

@Joe: that's why I said "that trick". All it does is randomly twitch the pitch and yaw of the player's (client) camera, it's not an actual recoil feedback system that moves the weapon image or player's arm.

Truthfully this works best in conjuction with the weapon cameraShake feature, since cameraShake is not neworked it doesnt looks as appealing yet still produces a good effect if used correctly.
