Bunch Of Questions Created 19 years ago2005-07-09 13:19:10 UTC by Dr. Mapper

1) How do I get a Camara to move around. What entities do I need to use. Example : In the beginnging of Halflife 2 there was a camara moviing around places.
2) What does env_zoom do?
3) In the point_camara entity, I give it a name, but there are no "target" or nothing that says a path corner to follow.
4) How do I do a timed teleport? Example : You could be standing there for 4 seconds, not doing anything. Then you teleport.

I Have quickly searched over the forum and all i can find is things for Halflife1.
I would be grateful for you help.

1) use air nodes and specify the group in the NPC
4)Use a maths or logic (cant remember which) counter and use i/o system to link to the teleport

Ummm....air nodes? I know what they are but how do I use them with a camara?

The great thing about Source is there is no longer a multi-manager. Everything can be done relitavely easily with 1 trigger and many outputs.. you can also select how long before a trigger happens whihc solves 4.

OKay, can some one please explain the answer to each question fully. I have no Idea wtf a logic timer does, I'm not being rude, but please. Answers please.

Do you mean the NPC cameras?

1 - Parent it to a func_tracktrain and have it move along path_tracks.
2 - It's for applications like the Combine binoculars in the Coast chapter.
3 - Parent it with said func_tracktrain. point_cameras don't move by themselves.
4 - If you want a teleport after 4 seconds, simply, just make an output to the teleport logic_relay or whatever with a delay of 4 seconds.
