Security tv? Created 20 years ago2004-04-12 17:08:20 UTC by Anonymous

Can I make a security camera system the display's the what the camera see's on some sort of texture? I really think that would be cooler for my level than having to go up to a screen and press use. Actually I don't know how to do that either so please give me a tutorial to make a normal one

Security Cameras is about the closest thing you will find.

well isnt that a normal security camera where you have to go up and press use? I kinda have a problem with understanding what they are trying to do. I just wanna know if I can make a monitor that like 5 people can see at once, kinda like a TV. I did figure out how to make normal cameras an easier way though.

It's impossible.

PS: UntilHL?

PS: Is that a fact?

Yup.

OK, I think I can help, try turning on noclip thru the console and take screen-shot (F5) of the area your camera will see, make it a texture wad
(Wally) texture the computer screen with the texture (somebody else might be able to build on this idea I'm not a real texture expert)

I don't its quite what he wants. I think he wants to see what you see through the camera when you hit 'Use' on the computer screen without hitting use. Your method would only give a static image. As Seventh said, wait till HL2 (whenever that will be)

yes thats the only way it can be done, as said above "until HL?
