3rd Person Shoulder

[TraffysB1txh!]

I activate it with my console enabled, but it only allows me to aim up and down, not left to right, however the camera pans the entire 360 around my character, so why can't I move positions? To clarify, it only allows me to face the same way I was before entering third person mode. I've tried playing around with it but I don't know what to do. I'm using a nintendo pro controller. Any recommendations? Please help!

Hey mate, this sounds like the command thirdperson_mayamode being activated, this fixes the crosshair and the camera in one position, I would suggest that you try to enter the command again in your console, this should deactivate it if it was enabled and you should be able to move your camera freely.

After you enter thirdpersonshoulder, if you try to enter the mayamode command and it requires cheats enabled, you can host a listen server and enable cheats and attempt to enter the command, if it works then you have mayamode enabled and the command is probably saved in a cfg file executed by your game.

Hi, I did this, and its basically the exact same as what you said. I still can only aim up or down and not side to side, like, if I'm facing with my character's back towards a door, I can't turn them around to go into the door, they'll have to proceed backwards which kind of sucks... Is there anything I can do in the cfg files to try and fix this? I can post anything needed, I just need some help with this, also thanks for commenting!

Do you face the same issue if you enter third person with keyboard and mouse? And just to be sure the controller works fine in first person?

[TraffysB1txh!]

No issues with keyboard and mouse, except I haven't binded my keys. If I enter thirdpersonshoulder there, without mayamode active, it works as it should, like in the videos people put on youtube demonstrating how it works. However with my controller this isn't the case. I've even tried adding action layers but it didn't help. First person works fine, except I have to pause my game using my keyboard, some buttons gave out I think. It also might be the fact that what I'm using is a wired switch controller, which steam reads as a pro controller wireless or not. It's not the best, I admit, but it's all I have at the moment. Soon I'm going to try an xbox controller because I'm more used to the controls, but I hope it's better suited for this instead. I think it might be my controller as the issue. I've thought of it several times but I guess I just had to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong with my system first.

Have you tried the controller using thirdperson command? It requires cheats but its worth a shot, if its still not working then it seems to be a config issue or a controller issue indeed, I would have asked if you had setup your controller settings using steam big picture or using a 360controller config file in /left4dead2/cfg folder?

If nothing works then if you can report back after you've changed the controller that would be great, so we can identify what caused the issue, good luck.

I think you should start a new discussion because this seems like a different subject.
