How To Go In 3rd Person In Gmod

The 3rd Person Puzzle: A Gmod Mystery

Okay, let's be real. Ever felt like Gmod is staring back at you? Like you're watching yourself be a hilarious, chaotic mess?

You're not alone! We've all been there, desperately wanting that sweet 3rd person view.

The Obvious (and Maybe Forgotten) Route

First, the most likely answer: the V key! Yep, that's the one.

Honestly, sometimes I forget basic things. It happens to the best of us.

Smash that V key repeatedly. Watch the magic. Unless...

The "My V Key is Broken" Scenario

What if V is being stubborn? We've all encountered that.

Maybe your V key took a vacation. Maybe it's staging a protest. Who knows?

Time for the console! Press that tilde key (`~). It's usually next to the '1' key.

Console Commands: Your New Best Friend

Type this in the console: thirdperson.

Hit enter. Bam! Hopefully, you're now watching your avatar from afar.

If that doesn't work, try camera thirdperson. A little extra never hurts.

The "Still Not Working?!?" Panic

Okay, deep breaths. Sometimes Gmod just likes to mess with us.

Check your keybindings! Head into the options menu. Look for "Change View".

Make sure something is actually assigned to change your view. Maybe your cat rebound the V key to something silly.

Addons and the 3rd Person Conundrum

Here's a thought: are you running any addons? Some addons can interfere. They're like tiny digital gremlins.

Try disabling recent addons one by one. See if anything changes.

It’s like detective work, but with less trench coats and more digital mayhem.

The Unpopular Opinion: 1st Person Is Better

Okay, hear me out. This might be controversial.

I think 1st person is often better in Gmod!

It's more immersive, more personal, and you get a better sense of the chaos around you. Don't @ me.

When All Else Fails... Embrace the Bug

Sometimes, the 3rd person just won't cooperate. It's a glitch. It's a feature. It's Gmod!

Just roll with it! Find a new way to be silly.

Maybe you're meant to experience Gmod from a unique, first-person perspective for now. Who knows?

The Final (and Hopefully Helpful) Word

So, that's the 3rd person saga in Gmod. Mostly.

Hopefully, one of these tips worked for you. If not, well, there's always YouTube tutorials. Or screaming into the void.

Now go forth and explore! In whatever perspective you can manage!
