point_viewcontrol_node

point_viewcontrol_node is a point entity available in INFRA.

Entity Description

A node for use with INFRA's point_viewcontrol. It is used to set up animations by pointing a viewcontrol to one node and then pointing that node to another and so forth.

Note:Do not confuse this with path_corner. Holding ⇧ Shift while moving a point_viewcontrol_node entity does not automatically connect them nor does it give them unique names.

0 is the same as the camera field of view. -1 is the same as the player default field of view.
