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? The best games are the games you create yourself.

I have this right now: Code: // includes VIEW* camera2_view = { layer = 0; pos_x = 10; pos_y = 10; size_x = 64; size_y = 48; arc = 45; aspect = 1; ambient = 10; fog = 10; genius = NULL; flags = VISIBLE; } action monitor(){ // Attached to the monitor in WED. camera2_view.bmap = bmap_for_entity(me,8); } // player action // main function But I don't see anything on the monitor... The best games are the games you create yourself.

mercuryus Unregistered M	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?

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). The best games are the games you create yourself.
