Very much so.

If you want to code an entity that follows players it can see, we would all love it :P

The turret already does this, just copy that part of the code and give it the camera model :P

I've been working on that for hours, and I'm about to kick a baby.

Crizis. This model is why we need to be able to apply entities in maps instead of just gametypes. Maybe have an IEnvironmentalEntity interface they can implement so that you don't have to worry about stuff like tdo points and flags showing up when they shouldn't. Or maybe make the interface/abstract class be for gametype specific ones. I don't know. I know it's late for feature requests, but I don't think this would warrant a client update.

Nice job Zebus :)

Haha this is pretty cool. Next stop would be to get a rendered view from the camera and project it on a screen on the map! Also to have the camera be breakable so you can shoot it to stop the display for given time period until the camera can repair itself :)

I think just the novelty of breaking cameras makes the game a little like Portal. I fully support spawnflags to allow destruction of them, but i would have to code that and that is for another day :D

I have absolutely NO IDEA how to attach an actual camera to it, but that would be awesome.

This can be done in the gt script itself by giving health for the entity. Just like turrets do.

As far as I know, since misc_camera is part of the game itself, you could have the moving camera make one and attach it to itself perhaps... and I know those can be attached to shaders to look like screens. It could work.

my god, zebus, this is amazing!

We can now start making our cyberpunk maps, full with conspiracy and police surpressing the people and stuff!

omg... haha! this is crazy and great at the same time! well done #Zebus :D

this could add some new tactical moments to the game, especially for duel!

My initial thought was 1984, and yeah totally :D

thanks

thank you, i couldn't have done it without MagusZero though :P

I'll work on getting a camera attached, this is a really fun project. (I feel like I'm helping!)

Pretty awesome stuff zebus :) love it.
Though since warsow players will most likely race by if you place it on a map, could you higher it's turning speed a bit?

Btw if you Manage to get a real camera view of that onto a ingame screen on the map, that would be soooo freaking awesome. I feel like these screens usually don't really fit a a purpose, since we lack funny advertisement to fill all of them

He's working on it. We think it'll probably be possible, but aren't sure.

Definitely possible.

Put a misc_portal_surface close to a surface with a shader like this and target it to a misc_portal_camera with the norotate spawnflag.
Then when it rotates, put the camera a little in front of the physical camera and assign G_DirToByte of the anglevector of the actual angle to the skinNum of the misc_portal_surface.

Note that G_DirToByte makes the rotation very... rough. It would have been so much nicer if they had just used the actual angle of the camera. :(
