Template:L4d series point It is a survivor specific camera, that can be used to zoom the camera in from a 3rd person view begining at the cameras location, automatically towards the survivors head ending with a 1st person view. Useful when used in conjuction with a point_viewcontrol_multiplayer for professional looking campaign intro scenes.

Note.pngNote:Certain effects such as rain from a func_precipitation and the survivors flashlights do not display while cameras are in use. To get around the rain not appearing, use an info_particle_system set to rain_intro above the cameras view, disable it once your intro is finished.
Tip.pngTip:Parenting this camera to a point_viewcontrol_multiplayer allows you to seemlessly transition from the introduction camera every survivor sees, to individual cameras that then branch off and zoom into each characters head.
Warning.pngWarning:Do not use the enable input of this entity, or it will function as a global camera that effects every survivor.
