Point camera

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: The camera has issues with rendering when passing through portals, the camera must be switched off to fix this issue. Demonstration.  [todo tested in ?]

Bug: The camera fails to render anything, making it useless along with func_monitor.  [todo tested in ?]

Entity Description

The view of this camera entity can be output in realtime to a func_monitor's monitor surface, or alternatively (using info_camera_link) to any named brush entity using the correct monitor texture. Active cameras require one render texture each. The mod default total number of render textures is one, so unless it is used in a mod with an increased limit, only one camera can be active at any time.

Parentname:

Parent (parentname) <targetname>

Specifies a movement parent. An entity will maintain its initial offset from its parent. An attachment point can be added to the end of the name, separated by a comma.

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 ([todo internal name (i)]) <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.

UseScreenAspectRatio ([todo internal name (i)]) <boolean>

fogEnable ([todo internal name (i)]) <boolean>

fogColor ([todo internal name (i)]) <color>

The fog color.

fogStart ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

The near fog plane.

fogEnd ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

The far fog/clipping plane.

Parentname:

SetParent <stringRedirectInput/string>

Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).

SetParentAttachment <stringRedirectInput/string>

As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.

ClearParent

Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.

ChangeFOV <stringRedirectInput/string>

Changes camera's FOV over time
Format: <Target FOV> <Time>
