mirv_calcs

This command provides expressions, that can be combined with mirv_cam and mirv_aim to be able to create some unique camera tricks. This system is quite complex and is targeted at advanced users.

Supported Games

Only Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is supported.

Basic Guide

These commands are only a handful of combinations you can use.

mirv_calcs handle add key <name1> <spectator slot number>
This will determine which entity or player you want to follow. The slot number of the player can be found on the spectator HUD, on top their avatars. You can also use mirv_calcs handle add index <name> <index number> where the index number can be found with mirv_listentities.

mirv_calcs vecAng add handleAttachment <name2> <name1> <attachment name>
This will allow you to choose which object you want the camera to attach to. The attachment names can be found in .qc files which need to be decompiled from .mdl files that can be found in the game files. If you are too lazy to do that, we have compiled a list of a few useful attachment names, listed below.

mirv_calcs vecAng add value <name3> <fX> <fY> <fZ> <rX> <rY> <rZ>
This will determine the positioning and rotation of the camera.

mirv_calcs vecAng add offset <name4> <name2> <name3> 1
This command will move the camera relative to the position and rotation of the object you are attached to.

mirv_cam source calcVecAng <name4>
This tells the mirv_cam command to use the <name4> as camera position and rotation.

spec_mode 5
Use this if the model is invisible.

mirv_cam source calcVecAngClear
This will disable the camera, for when you want to reset the camera back to default.

Tip: You can use mirv_cam offset <fX> <fY> <fZ> <rX> <rY> <rZ> to adjust the position and rotation all at once rather than editing the vecAng values one by one. But beware that this command will offset the camera of everything, including campaths, POV etc.
