monitor and cam for css? Created 17 years ago2007-09-24 12:54:56 UTC by Snusmumrikken

havent found anything on the forums or the tuts...
so i was woundering how u could make a camera that shows whats goin on on a monitor somewhere else...

Simply make a point_camera, name it something, then make an info_camera_link (I believe that is the name, I can't check right now), and a brush with a dev_monitor texture (just filter monitor..)
Tell the info camera link which camera to use, and then select a brushface with a monitor texture on it so show what the camera is viewing.
DONE.

I believe it is that simple, but I do not have hammer here so i can't check it out.

However, I have made this example which shows that and some other things...

no point_camera, only pont_devshot_camera, would it be the same thing?

and i cant get that monitor stuff to work...

Oh, right, CSS.
I'm not familiar with the CSS camera.
But Im sure Devshot_camera is not it.

You'll need to use a custom FGD for Hammer CSS which contains the entity you need. Google for it.

cant find anyh fgd like stuff on google, only on that valve wiki site with alot of h4xing codes and stuff...
do u have to code and all that, or is it some kinda download so u can just install and the cam will work?
