In response to the code you just posted/deleted :P;

client.eye.perspective doesnt belong to anyone, you'd have to give it src.client.eye.perspective. However this only requires setting it once, so its good to just do it at login, the login command automatically assumes any variables being altered belong to the mob that just logged in, which is why you dont need src or usr as a prefix, you can just use client.eye.perspective = EYE_PERSPECTIVE.

Actually, what went wrong is that if I centered it again, it went black then, but if I used the look commands it would return it to normal, but still not be centered.

And, it would lock up my commands, so I couldn't shoot.

I dont know why that would happen... if it affected your shooting commands then thats a problem with the shooting code, remember that if you're using the view() command in your shooting proc, it might cause some problems since what the user can see isnt what the eye can see when the eye is moved. Also, i dont see why it would make your screen go black, if the eye goes to a coordinate out of the maps bounds then yes it'll turn black, but like I said you should add some checking code that makes sure that isnt possible.

If you post your code I could help more.

Alrighty

mob/Player/Login()
    client.perspective = EYE_PERSPECTIVE

obj
    hud2
        uparrow
            Click()
                usr.panEye(0,1,1,5)
                usr.AllowMove = 0
            name = "Look Up"
            icon_state = "up"
            screen_loc = "2,4"
            
        leftarrow
            Click()
                usr.panEye(-1,0,1,5)
                usr.AllowMove = 0
            name = "Look Left"
            icon_state = "left"
            screen_loc = "1,3"
        rightarrow
            Click()
                usr.panEye(1,0,1,5)
                usr.AllowMove = 0
            name = "Look Right"
            icon_state = "right"
            screen_loc = "3,3"
        downarrow
            Click()
                usr.panEye(0,-1,1,5)
                usr.AllowMove = 0
            name = "Look Down"
            icon_state = "down"
            screen_loc = "2,2"
        center            ///////CENTER
            Click()
                usr.client.eye = src
                usr.AllowMove = 1
            name = "Center View"
            icon_state = "center"
            screen_loc = "2,3"


Huh? Well, the verbs are working again, but it still blacks out on centering.

Its blacking out because you're setting the user's eye to source, and source isnt the user, it's the arrow. Generally using usr in any proc is bad, but you can usually get away with it in Click(), try changing it to usr.client.eye = usr and see what happens.

Thanks a lot!

Gr.. nevermind. It still has the limits on it. My gun's range is at 999 (for testing) but it's still thinking that it needs to be within my usual sight.

:P then thats a problem with your shooting code, we'd need that code to offer any help.

        fattack()
            var/mob/M = src.target2
            var/obj/fire_equipped = src.firearm
            var/fire_clip = fire_equipped.clipc
            var/fire_damage = fire_equipped.damageb
            var/fire_range = fire_equipped.arange
            if(fire_equipped)
                if(M in view(fire_range))
Blah blah blah
                else
                    src << "Out of range."

Try switching view to orange, view is a list of objects visible from the source, orange is just a list of objects within the specified distance of the source.

Still didn't work : / "Out of range." still comes up.

Keep in mind that procs such as <code>view()</code>, <code>oview()</code>, <code>viewers()</code>, <code>oviewers()</code>, <code>range()</code>, <code>orange()</code>, <code>hearers()</code>, <code>ohearers()</code> (etc.) but also procs such as <code>input()</code> and <code>alert()</code> take usr as their default. usr might not be what you want in this case, so you should at least set it to src as a sanity check incase something goes wrong.
