Hi,

I would like to make a security camera + monitor.
I want the player to walk up to the monitor, and when the player presses and hold 'E', the camera has to move from the player to the camera.
That is not a problem, I can make it myself, but the monitor, I want to display on the monitor what the camera model sees.
How can I make this?

Create a new VIEW* (e.g. remote_camera) and set it's pos and orientation like the security camera model.
Then render the view to your monitors (e.g. monitor) texture:

remote_camera.bmap = bmap_for_entity(monitor,0);

PS: play with remote_camera.arc

Thank you for your reply.
I have this right now:



But I don't see anything on the monitor...

i believe that security camera example was published in some aum. if you own dsl download aum 1-50 from au resources page...

Try to understand what the single functions/definitions are for and how they work!

Just copy and past wont work.

Some hints:

- why "8" in bmap_for_entity(me,8); ?
- why fog
- why genius?
- pos_x, pos_y is definitly wrong
- size_x, size_y?

I got it to work, even when I let the camera rotate 80 degrees.
I attached monitor to the earth.mdl model.
Because my monitor just wont work...
My monitor just don't show the camera...
I have monitor attached to the monitor model and the earth model, when I remove it from the earth model, It shows the view on my screen (3/5 part of the screen).
