PlayerLinkTo( <linkto entity>, <tag>, <viewpercentag fraction>, <right arc>, <left arc>, <top arc>, <bottom arc>, <collide> )

Module: Player
SP Only

Summary:

Attaches the player to an entity. Any entity rotation is added to the player's view, allow the player to look around. Rotating the parent entity/tag will not move the player's eye position, but only the player's view angles. Thus, the player's eye position is locked in place, always directly above the parent tag.
