You can use camera’s and “mirror” textures for that (although I can’t remember exactly how). Note though that (as far as I know) it will not really look like a camera, it will be like you are viewing everything through a window. When you move to the sides, you can actually see more of whats displayed in the screen as if it was just a hole through which you are looking instead of a flat screen.

It will like teleportation portal in quake 3 arena, to be exact

Only a german tutorial:
http://www.haradirki.de/tutor/indextut41.htm

But there are example maps.
You need:

and:
http://www.haradirki.de/tutor-files/rtcwmaps.zip

Example map with camera must be “tutor65.map”.

dont know anything about german exept the voice chat in ET… so i quess ill try do do as in the pics in that tutorial…

so if its like a hole in a wall… could i make a sphere and then see 360 degrees?

is there some variable that u could shoot it and then bullets teleport to that location?

maybe you could combine a shooter to a trigger thats activated by shooting, but teleport bullets, nope.

also for the surveillance Idea, maybe you could just design the tv in a way that it is just hard to look at it from different angles

zerocool made a ‘tv’ on his ICE race map (dunno if it’s public).
