func_monitor is a brush entity available in all Source Source games except Left 4 Dead series Left 4 Dead series. Muestra una escena en tiempo real capturada por point_camera en otra parte del mapa.

Para que la entidad funcione, las superficies de la cámara deben tener $basetexture _rt_Camera. Los materiales que funcionan son dev\dev_combinemonitor* y dev\dev_tvmonitor*.

Retransmisión de Dr. Breen.
Icon-Bug.pngBug:Cameras may fail to network properly in multiplayer. See below for a code fix. Fixed in Team Fortress 2
Note.pngNote:Unless you set up multiple render textures in your mod's binaries, only one point_camera can be rendered at any one time. The first camera in the map will appear on all monitors.
Código:To enable monitors in your non-HL2 mod, you must:
  • Include the entity's client .cpp file (found in \client\hl2\).
  • Include the entity's server .cpp and .h files (found in \server\hl2\).
  • #define USE_MONITORS at the top of \client\viewrender.cpp and \client\view.cpp.
  • Fix a multiplayer bug in CPointCamera::CPointCamera() by setting m_bActive to true.

Valores clave


func_brush:
Minimum Light Level (_minlight) <float>
The minimum level of ambient light that hits this brush.
Solidity (Solidity) <choices>
Used to control the solidity/collision of these brushes.
  • 0: Toggle - The solidity can be toggled together with its visibility.
  • 1: Never Solid
  • 2: Always Solid
Solid BSP (solidbsp) <boolean>
Set this if this brush is in hierarchy with a moving object of some kind, and the player can stand on this brush.
NPC class excluded from collisions (excludednpc) <classname>
If an NPC classname (i.e. npc_zombie) is specified here, NPCs of that type won't collide with these brushes.
Invert NPC class exclusion (invert_exclusion) <boolean>
If set, then the excluded NPC class will consider this brush solid, and all other NPC classes will consider it non-solid.
Shadows (vrad_brush_cast_shadows) <boolean>
Configures whether this brush casts lightmap shadows.

EnableDisable:

Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean>
Stay dormant until activated (with theEnableinput).
Tip.pngTip:If Solidity is Toggle, disabling func_brush also makes it non-solid.

Origin:
Origin (X Y Z) (origin) <origin>
The position of this entity's center in the world. Rotating entities typically rotate around their origin.

Shadow:
Disable Shadows (disableshadows) <boolean>
Prevents the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows, or lightmap shadows if the entity is a prop_static. Does not affect shadow mapping.
Disable Receiving Shadows (disablereceiveshadows) <boolean>
Prevent the entity from receiving dynamic shadows on itself.
Shadow Cast Distance (shadowcastdist) <integer> !FGD
Sets how far the entity casts dynamic shadows. 0 means default distance from the shadow_control entity.
Disable ShadowDepth (disableshadowdepth) <boolean> (in all games since Portal 2)
Used to disable rendering into shadow depth (for projected textures) for this entity.
Disable flashlight (disableflashlight) <boolean> (in all games since Portal 2)

//// Raw text:
"OnUser1" "!self,AddOutput,targetname new_name"

// Format of adding an Output: "AddOutput {targetname}:{inputname}:{parameter}:{delay}:{max times to fire, -1 means infinite}"
//// Raw text:
"OnUser1" "!self,AddOutput,OnUser1:SetParent:!activator:0.0:-1"
// Arguments can be left blank, but the empty blank should still be contained.
