Describe your feature suggestion in more detail

In previous versions of Source, the boolean convar cl_first_person_uses_world_model would allow the player to disable viewmodels and instead see their worldmodel body when they look around. This is a very simple implementation.

This is a very simple implementation that needs a small modification of c_baseplayer.cpp.

In the method C_BasePlayer::ShouldDrawThisPlayer(), most Source games do this:

if ( !UseVR() && cl_first_person_uses_world_model.GetBool() )
{
   return true
}

This would present problems for base game playermodels because the coop bots have considerable height differences, and the actual player eyeangles remains the same regardless of what gamemode you're in and whoever you're playing as.

Being able to see the top of Atlas's head would be rather questionable for a variety of reasons...

Is it possible that we could do either of two things:

1. Disable functionality for the bots
2. Dynamically adjust the camera height to the eye attachment point when playing as the bots (or perhaps even everything if it wasn't an issue?)

2 would only apply when the Boolean is active. These are just my ideas. Let me know if either of them would work!
