ViewData

Description

Table structure used for render.RenderView.

Unless stated otherwise, the default values for all these keys would be inherited from the engine's CViewSetup and do not have static representations.

Members

Vector origin

The view's original position

Angle angles

The view's angles

number aspect

Default width divided by height. Has a deprecated alias aspectratio.

number x

The x position of the viewport to render in

number y

The y position of the viewport to render in

number w

The width of the viewport to render in

number h

The height of the viewport to render in

boolean drawhud

Draw the HUD and call the hud painting related hooks

Default: false

boolean drawmonitors

Draw monitors

Default: false

boolean drawviewmodel

The weapon's viewmodel

Default: true

boolean drawviewer

Whether to force draw the local player or not.

This was recently added in version (2025.03.05). It might only be available on the Dev Branch right now.

Default: false

number viewmodelfov

The viewmodel's FOV

number fov

The main view's FOV

table ortho

If set, renders the view orthogonally. A table with these keys:

left
right
top
bottom

number ortholeft

Coordinate for the left clipping plane. Requires ortho to be set to true.

Deprecated: Use ortho table instead!

number orthoright

Coordinate for the right clipping plane. Requires ortho to be set to true.

Deprecated: Use ortho table instead!

number orthotop

Coordinate for the top clipping plane. Requires ortho to be set to true.

Deprecated: Use ortho table instead!

number orthobottom

Coordinate for the bottom clipping plane. Requires ortho to be set to true.

Deprecated: Use ortho table instead!

number znear

The distance of the view's origin to the near clipping plane

number zfar

The distance of the view's origin to the far clipping plane

number znearviewmodel

The distance of the view's origin to the near clipping plane for the viewmodel

number zfarviewmodel

The distance of the view's origin to the far clipping plane for the viewmodel

boolean dopostprocess

Currently works identically to the "bloomtone" option (it also overrides it if you set this to false).

Default: false

boolean bloomtone

Disables default engine bloom and pauses the "brightness changes" on HDR maps.

Default: true

number viewid

This is identifying which logical part of the scene an entity is being redered in, see VIEW enum.

Default: 0

table offcenter

This allows you to "zoom in" on a part of the screen - for example, the top-left quarter of the screen. This is similar to how poster splits the screen into separate renders.

It's a table with 4 keys, controlling what portion of the screen to draw:

left - where the left edge starts. Natural value is 0.
right - where the right edge ends. Natural value is equal to w (the width of the viewport).
top - where the bottom edge starts. Natural value is 0.
bottom - where the top edge ends. Natural value is equal to h (the height of the viewport).

Note that top and bottom are reversed.

Values outside the viewport are allowed, but not recommended - instead you should increase the view FOV.
