point_camera is a point entity available in all 
Source games.
It is a camera which outputs its view to the _rt_camera texture, which can be displayed using materials such as dev/dev_tvmonitor1a. The camera image will only update if a func_monitor or the entity specified in an info_camera_link is on-screen. Since there is normally only one camera render texture, only one camera can be active at a time unless a mod increases the limit.
Note:This entity is missing from FGDs. uses point_viewcontrol_survivor for each survivor, or point_viewcontrol_multiplayer for all survivors at once instead.Bug: In Portal 2, having a point_camera active can cause objects to become invisible through portals. [todo tested in ?]
Workaround:Disable r_portal_fastpathusing a point_clientcommand, this allows cameras and several other portal-related things to work correctly.
Keyvalues
- Name (targetname) <string>
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentnameortarget).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report. - See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
- Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) <QAngle>
- This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.
- FOV (FOV) <float>
- Field of view in degrees. 90 is a good starting point for a decent view. Lower value is narrower and a larger value is a wider view.
- Screen Aspect Ratio (UseScreenAspectRatio) <boolean>
- [Clarify]
- Use HD Camera? (UseHDCamera) <boolean> (only in
20th) - Render to the render target at higher resolution.
Fog:
- Fog Enable (fogEnable) <boolean>
- Fog Color (fogColor) <color255>
- The fog color.
- Fog Color (HDR Override) (fogColor_HDR) <color255> (only in 20th)
- The fog color for HDR.
- Fog Start (fogStart) <float>
- The near fog plane.
- Fog End (fogEnd) <float>
- The far fog/clipping plane.
- Fog Max Density [0..1] (fogMaxDensity) <float>
- Use Radial Fog? (fogRadial) <boolean> (only in 20th,
, 
, 
) - Use radial fog instead of planar-based fog. Only in Half-Life 2 20th Anniversary Update, Half-Life: Source (which runs on top of HL2 20th Anniversary base), Portal (since May 2025 update), aswell as all games on Team Fortress 2 branch (since Feb 18, 2025 update).
Flags
- Start Off : [1]
Inputs
- ChangeFOV <string>

Format:<Target FOV> <Time>
- SetOnAndTurnOthersOff
- Turn the camera on, and turn all other cameras off.
- SetOn
- Turn the camera on.
- SetOff
- Turn the camera off.
