Someone who knows Source fuckery explain this pls

thread because bored, rate whatever you freaks

This has been in the back of my mind since October 2017 when someone told me about this in-game and I tried it out.

Enabling and increasing Mouse Acceleration to a ridiculous value of '999999' makes your game unplayable. Back then it gave you drug like effects but today it's just a straight up blackscreen. It looked like this:

Now it looks like this:

The script errors are due to me trying to open the inventory.

Trying this in Singleplayer teleported my view to 0, 0, 0 and crashed my game after respawning.


my question is

why+how

Changing your sprint speed in lua to some weird value (that I cannot remember) also did this to me -

C++ is still just magic for me and i hate it, but my guess from the source code is that because the acceleration numbers are so big, you're setting the camera angles to something out of scope for source to handle. This is input source code from the 2013 SDK, dunno if garry's mod uses something extremely different.

I remember now if anyone knows a answer - I had the normal move speed and sprint speed set at the same values, I should probably test this again though now it’s brought up some interest
