Monitors are used mainly in the [[Wheatley (Portal 2)|Wheatley theme]] where Wheatley can be displayed. They are easy to make with <code>[[func_instance]]</code>.


Monitors are easy to make and they make the map more living.
==Creating monitors with func_instance==
 
===Step 1===
=Creating=
Create a <code>func_instance</code> entity using the [[entity tool]]. Set its VMF filename to <code>instances\monitors\wheatley_bigscreen.vmf</code>. Set its fix-up name to <code>wheatley_monitor_1</code>. Use the [[Hammer_Clipping_Tool|clipping tool]] to create an opening for the monitor and move it into position.
Monitors are made by making a [[func_monitor]] and a [[point_camera]].
===Step 2===
 
Create another <code>func_instance</code>. Set its VMF filename to <code>instances\monitors\wheatley_studio.vmf</code>. Place it outside your map.
==Step 1==
===Step 3===
 
Create one more <code>func_instance</code> with the VMF <code>instances\choreo\glados_gen_actor.vmf</code>. To make Wheatley speak, fire an output like this:
Make an entity (See [[Creating_a_brush_entity]] for help) with the texture "dev/monitor". Change the entity into the [[func_monitor]] class. Name the entity monitor1.
{| {{OutputsTable}}
 
| [[File:Io11.png]] || OnTrigger || @glados || RunScriptCode || laser_catapult_test_start() || 0.00 || No
==Step 2==
Make a [[point_camera]] and set its name to monitor_camera.
 
==Step 3==  
Go to the [[func_monitor]]’s properties and set camera name to: '''monitor_camera'''.
 
==Step 4== 
Connect the camera and the monitor to a trigger and set the trigger’s output to:
 
::{| class=standard-table
!  || My Output || Target Entity || Target Input || Parameter || Delay || Only Once
|-
| [[Image:Io11.png]] || OnTrigger || monitor || Enable || || 0.00 || No
|-
| [[Image:Io11.png]] || OnTrigger || monitor_camera || SetOn ||  || 0.00 || No
|}
|}
==Step 5==
Compile and test the map.

Wheatley on one of his monitors.

Monitors are used mainly in the Wheatley theme where Wheatley can be displayed. They are easy to make with func_instance.

Creating monitors with func_instance

Step 1

Create a func_instance entity using the entity tool. Set its VMF filename to instances\monitors\wheatley_bigscreen.vmf. Set its fix-up name to wheatley_monitor_1. Use the clipping tool to create an opening for the monitor and move it into position.

Step 2

Create another func_instance. Set its VMF filename to instances\monitors\wheatley_studio.vmf. Place it outside your map.

Step 3

Create one more func_instance with the VMF instances\choreo\glados_gen_actor.vmf. To make Wheatley speak, fire an output like this:

  My Output Target Entity Target Input Parameter Delay Only Once
Io11.png OnTrigger @glados RunScriptCode laser_catapult_test_start() 0.00 No
