Is there a way to have team score displayed on a TV monitor located in the map? I know there are ways to have cameras showing the action in the map.. I was wondering if there was a way to also display team scores on the same tv screens?

I am asking because I am making a new LaserTAG map and I wanted to have the team score displayed in the arena to get people hyped up.. this will be a HLDM map.

Smells like an editing question to me mate, post it in the right place next time :razz:

The problem at hand certainly sounds like something that could be done
under some circumstances, but not under others. I know some source
engine CTF maps do it, but then because the scores are updated and
stored with map logic (eg. logic_counters and the like keep count of
flag caps) its easy to pick the score out of an entity and render a
suitable func_wall_toggle or whatever you'd do in source. As for
getting the actual team score, I've no idea if it could be done but I
wouldn't bet on it.
