Server-Entity: Rendertarget Camera Viewpoint.

QUAKED point_camera (1 0 0) (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8) PCAMFL_STARTOFF

OVERVIEW

A virtual camera of which its output can be displayed on a rendertarget. This plays well with the func_monitor entity.

KEYS

• "targetname" : Name
• "FOV" : Field of view in degrees
• "UseScreenAspectRatio" : Forces the aspect ratio to be the same as the game's.
• "fogEnable" : Enable fog in the camera's view.
• "fogColor" : Color of the fog in RGB255.
• "fogStart" : Near fog plane.
• "fogEnd" : Far fog plane.

INPUTS

• "ChangeFOV" : Change the camera's field of view.
• "SetOnAndTurnOthersOff" : Turn this camera on while deactivating all others.
• "SetOn" : Turn this camera on.
• "SetOff" : Turn this camera off.

Member Function Documentation

Input()

void point_camera::Input ( entity  eAct, string  strInput, string  strData  )

virtual

Called when we are being prompted by another object/function with an input message.

Reimplemented from NSEntity.

Restore()

void point_camera::Restore ( string  strKey, string  strValue  )

virtual

Similar to NSIO::SpawnKey but for save-game fields.

Whatever you write into file handles within your NSIO::Save() method needs to be read back in here.

Reimplemented from NSPointTrigger.

Save()

void point_camera::Save ( float  handle )

virtual

Handles saving a copy of this entity to a given filehandle.

Within you want to use the NSIO::SaveFloat() etc. methods to write the internal member attributes to the specified file handle.

Reimplemented from NSPointTrigger.

SpawnKey()

void point_camera::SpawnKey ( string  strKey, string  strValue  )

virtual

This method handles entity key/value pairs on map load.

You can easily convert the strValue parameter using the ReadFloat etc. methods that are part of NSIO.

Reimplemented from NSPointTrigger.
