Monitors are easy to make and they make the map more living.

Creating

Monitors are made by making a func_monitor and a point_camera.

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Make a point_camera with the name 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:

	My Output	Target Entity	Target Input	Parameter	Delay	Only Once
	OnTrigger	monitor	Enable		0.00	No
	OnTrigger	monitor_camera	SetOn		0.00	No

Step 5

Texture the face you want the screen to appear to "dev_tvmonitor1a. You should also click the button "Fit" for a better quality.
