This is an example map on how to make peepholes, a great new thing. To use the peephole in this map, walk up to the crack in the wall and press e, the action key. next will be your view, peeping through the crack. You can use this skill for doing hotel room peepholes, peepcracks, and even the looking thing on top of a subwarine.

its a good idea which could lead to some great things. just one thing off topic i noticed is that you dont use texlights. theres probably a tut somewhere. still, nice concept.alot like that thing in cz...

Nice use of the trigger_camera. It's also used for security cameras in some maps, for example in BleuShift. But I like this implemention...

There is indeed a texture lighting tutorial - it's in the "beginner" section!

It's called a periscope

yeah, my mind blanked out on the periscope. This is just a small example map to show a peephole, so don't complan about the lighting.

texlighting is better. it is lazier cos u dont hav 2 mak a light ent with all ur light brushes, and texlights have the colour settings built in so you dont ahve to change them on every neww ent. trust me, its better.

I'll experiment, and see which I like better.

It's probably because they already have an idea on how to do it, but don't want to put it in there maps yet.

I just discovered the map vault, and saw this.

Where would someone put this in a map?

BTW, are you a very bratty person?

The effect is not bad. Maybe some seconds more...

The CZ effect is something like the fiber-optic camera in Splinter-cell, not a mapping trick. Is just the mapper (or level designer) that decide when and where the player can use the f-o camera.

That's a damn cool idea, BL. Great for stealth maps, perhaps? Or getting that little extra information out of the backstory? Very good idea.
