Just a quick question guys. I'm sure i've seen how to do this somewhere but can't find it for looking.

How do you set the camera view when the game starts. By that I mean the view you have of the map when you are selecting which team to join and waiting to spawn for the first time.

Mine seems to be defaulted to position 0 0 0 on the map at the moment which isn't the best view as you can imagine.

All you have to do is insert and aim an entity called point_viewcontrol.

if you insert a few then the map will cycle between them every few seconds.

yey :) ive written a tutorial thats easy to understand :D

link to the tutorial?
