Area/Hint brushes and camera animation
Ok first off i have no idea what the hell Area/Hint brushes are, i know they are meant for lighting/npc work but no idea where to place them even though they are just brushes.
Any ideas?
Also is there anyways to make the security camera move without it looking at the player, i want it to look left then right.
I've tried using sequence scripts, it can't be made a dynamic so i have no idea... any ideas?
Cheers,
Mapster
I think you have some concepts confused. Hint brushes are used in optimization, they create manual VIS cuts so that you can help VVIS make smarter decisions. For example if you look in glview and VVIS is splitting up a room in ways it shouldn't, you can add in some Hint brushes as a starting point and try to help it out. The idea is kind of abstract, but I can elaborate if you want me to.
As for Area brushes, that doesn't exist. Do you mean Areaportals?
Neither Hint brushes or Areaportals affect NPC AI.
As for getting your camera to look around, I think you may kinda be fucked. Try finding and following a tutorial about how to get an AI Citizen to look at a certain spot and adapt that, or maybe try making an ai_relationship to make the camera hate an npc_bullseye or something.

Why would i ask if i wasn't serious msleeper?
I believe VVis calculates a portal-based visibility tree based on the BSP tree generated by Bsp.
The camera is damn easy, really.
What I would do is:
Trigger the camera, and at the same time teleport the player inside an invisible func_train. place the train at the right of the brush and then move it to the left. I can make an example map later is you want.
I can't wait to play this!
