Additional Notes

• Do NOT return anything unless you need to change the player's view that frame.
• This function does not overwrite the player's eye angles, it merely simulates them.
• Only changes where the players view is drawn from, doesn't change their actual position, so traces and bullets are unaffected.
• If you want to move the view model you can include vm_origin and vm_angles in the return table.
• You may also include fov in the table that gets returned if you want to modify the user's field of view angle.
• Returning just a table here breaks the base CalcView hook and SWEP:GetViewModelPosition, to fix that do this:

function MyCalcView(ply,origin,angles,fov)
       //Do your stuff -- Example: local view = GAMEMODE:CalcView(ply,origin,angles,fov)
 
       //return the modified values
       //if in a gamemode do
       //return self.BaseClass:CalcView(ply,origin,angles,fov)
end

• NOTE: The above function works perfectly but if your using vm_origin or vm_angles, You have to return a diffrent function that doesnt use vm_* when your using C++ weapons.
• NOTE2: The below function is false and written in old terms by garry, The above code is more appropriate.

function MyCalcView(ply,origin,angles,fov)
       //Do your stuff
 
       //return the modified values
       return GAMEMODE:CalcView(ply,origin,angles,fov)
       //if in a gamemode do
       //return self.BaseClass:CalcView(ply,origin,angles,fov)
end
