Cycling between cameras, chase cameras, etc.

Nice tutorial. I don't think there's much more we can learn about cameras in HL2 now.

Last pic...damn, no "hall-of-mirrors" effect

What about camera effects? filters?

good tut tho :P

I've managed cycling cameras using only one logic_case and one math_counter - you don't need a math_counter for each camera.
Set the "OutValue" of the counter to the logic_case's InValue.

For camera effects, you can use different textures, see over here: http://www.hl2world.com/wiki/index.php/Cameras
You can also make your own effect by creating shader effects in a texture's .vmt file, it looks very flexible.

I'd like to get a moving camera working, using point_viewcontrol... it never wants to move for me. Nice tutorial though, helped a lot.

Nice Tutorial! Saves me a lot of time trying to figure it out on my own. I'm going 2 make a huge security system with many cameras so this was a big help... Thx!

About rof what did you set in your invalue parameter as?

Nice tut. I tried attaching the camera to a combine gunship and the effects were great. Thanks.

Hmmm i dont know how relevant this is but i cant create a camera in CSS!? there doesnt seem to be a point_camera entity
ne help wud b great! thanx guys

Hey <3 the tut
on the camera pointed at monitor part it looks like the camera is not dead center, and could that be why you only get 4?
gonna go try it..
