Hi there,

I've got a simple question: how to display a bik movie over a couple of movie displays (like in the standard arrival and exit elevators).

I have a vgui_movie_display as master and some vgui_movie_displays as 'Forced Slaves' in the same group. The settings are basically copied from the instances of the elevators and the arrival_departure_transition_ents.vmf. When I enable the vgui_movie_displays with an i/o command, the video specified in the master entity still displays separately on each slave vgui_movie_display.

What to do? And thanks in advance!

Have a look at Brainstone's elevator instances. They have some additional inputs (SetMaxV,SetMinV,SetMaxU,SetMinU) that I think are for positioning the video.

VALVe uses the video_splitter.nut script to extend the video through the several vgui_movie_displays... This is in the arrival/departure_elevator_logic instance and it's used via a logic_script entity and the outputs are fired to this entity. Maybe you missed this part?

Thanks, TeamSpen210 and josepezdj!

Both answers were equally helpful: I had already seen the U and V paramters as inputs for the display entities but hadn't dared playing around with those. The video_splitter.nut however is a top notch 'tutorial' on how to use them.

Now I got it working with simple i/o commands ...
