I know you can't do this for multiplayer but I saw a tutorial somewhere for that... I might have the link on my machine but it's compiling the map Im working on I'll see what I can dig up later and post what I find... the tutorial I saw I found on google.. had a camera set up on a tripod with some sort of constraint that you could break then pick up the camera. since Im working on a multiplayer map I simple thought 'cool, sucks I cant use it' hehe

Just set the point_camera's parent field to the name of a func_physbox. It then will move with it, so if you pick up the physbox, the camera POV will follow.

Should work fine in multiplayer too, I can't see why not.
