I followed the exact instructions in the sdk docs to make a background map (point_viewcontrol looks at a info_target). A logic_auto won't automatically trigger the point_viewcontrol OnMapSpawn or OnBackgroundMap properly (ent_fire target enable makes the point_viewcontrol work properly).

That's how they seem to do it in the official backgroundXX maps.
The point_viewcontrol has the "Freeze player", "Infinite hold time" and "Snap to goal angles" spawnflags on, and is targeted by a logic_auto with OnMapSpawn: Enable.

The point is that the logic_auto wont trigger for some reason....

Get it to trigger a light or something to check it's working first, though they're very simple entities without much scope to go wrong :/ I'll have a look see at these for you tomorrow.
