1. Place a point_camera where you want the camera to be. This is the viewpoint that your screen will look from. Give it a name like "camera_1", but don't bother changing any other fields (except fog colour, if you want).

2. Create a brush to be your screen. Texture the front with "dev/dev_tvmonitor1a", and tie it to a func_monitor. In the 'Camera name' field, put the name of your camera (i.e. "camera_1")

I think that's all there is to it. Try it and see what happens (it should work).

Yay! Glad to know it worked

Any idea as to when we'll be able to see it in action?

I am curently finishing the details of the map I'll post it on the site
It will be released this evening if I have time, or next week because I go on holidays tomorrow ^^

Have fun on your holiday
Also: you can only have one camera enabled at the same time. So if you want more; you have to toggle between them

This is kinda true? You can only have one _RT_camera on for each PVS (potentially visible set).

Thanks for the tips guys

I am having an issue : The screen resolution is very low, so it's ... very ugly:

My screen is a 120x120 brush. I applied the Monitor texture, and then I had to extend it.
Here is how it looks in hammer :

And In-Game :

Is there anyway to set a bigger resolution for the camera/screen ?

That's what that texture does. It's intentional. To reduce the effect scale the texture down in Hammer to its default, then change the properties of the camera itself to get the zoom you want. It's like with real cameras--to get the best resolution use optical rather than digital zoom.

If you want to get rid of those lines entirely, make a new UnlitGeneric texture with $basetexture _rt_camera instead of a VTF file.

I think he was asking how to get the image on the camera to be higher-res. If that's it, I don't know.
