Small question about Satellite Dish

[Kyzer]

Hello,

I wonder, how the satellite dish can catch the camera image to display it on the screen!

I may need this, so i had a look at the satellite dish scripts, and i can't found anything about that!

Please someone..help

[Fatal_Exception]

The satellite dish has nothing to do with the camera. It's for use with Data Transferrers.

Yup the satalite dish is a bounce station for data transferers at long distances thats why its in the Wire-Data section. Everything in there save the keycard addon is data transferer based.

[Kyzer]

I know this is for data etc, but spawn a camera, and a satelite dish, and on the satellite dish will be displayed what the camera see!

Hmmm, *someone* used the rt material for the display model?

[tomb332]

Its probably beacuse the deafult model is one of the wired screens.

[Kyzer]

But..i use this screen model too in my advanced textscreen, doesn't do anything when i put a camera :s..

I really need to know how! Please whoever made the satellite dish, help! As i said i looked in it's scripts and i don't see anything related to camera or whatever :s

PS: i tried this:

function ENT:Draw()
    self.BaseClass.Draw(self)
    Wire_Render(self.Entity)
end

No results


Edit: Ok i asked kobilica, as he made this screen, told me that it's a rt version of his screen. And then looking better in lua files, i saw that: models/kobilica/wiremonitorrtbig.mdl

Kyzer: That's because the 3D2D functions draw over the RT bit on the screens.

The picture displaying isn't done in Lua, it's done in the models.

I did it with lua now

however it works, it is handy that it does.
