POINT sky_camera
An entity used to control the 3D Skybox. Its origin is used to determine the 3D Skybox's position relative to the map. Place this entity, in the 3D Skybox, at the point where the origin of the map should be.
KeyValues
Parent <target_destination>
The name of the entity to move with. NOTE: sky_camera's position is normally only updated on spawn. Fire the ForceUpdate or StartUpdating inputs to update the sky_camera's position! You might also want to enable Use Angles for Sky.
spawnflags <flags>
No description provided.
Possible Flags:
| Name | Value | Default |
| Master (takes priority if multiple sky_cameras exist) | 1 | ❌ |
| Continuously update position (for moving sky_cameras) | 2 | ❌ |
Sky Color <color255> = 255 255 255 0
Causes the skybox to use a solid color instead of the sky texture specified in worldspawn. Blended alpha is unfortunately not supported, but an alpha of '0' disables the effect and any alpha greater than that (e.g. 255) enables the effect.
3D Skybox scale <integer> = 16
Scale of the skybox.
Fog Enable <boolean> = No
No description provided.
Fog Blend <boolean> = No
No description provided.
Use Angles for Fog Dir <boolean> = No
No description provided.
Use Angles for Sky <boolean> = No
Uses angles for actual skybox rotation, as if the world were tilted on this entity's axis.

No description provided.
Secondary Fog Color <color255> = 255 255 255
No description provided.

No description provided.
Fog Start <float> = 500
Distance at which the skybox fog should start.
Fog End <float> = 2000
Distance at which the skybox fog should be fully opaque.
Fog Max Density [0..1] <float> = 1
No description provided.
HDR color scale. <float> = 1
float value to multiply fog color by when running in HDR mode.

Name <target_source>
The name that other entities refer to this entity by.
Global Entity Name <string>
Name by which this entity is linked to another entity in a different map. When the player transitions to a new map, entities in the new map with globalnames matching entities in the previous map will have the previous map's state copied over their state.
Pitch Yaw Roll (X Y Z) <angle> = 0 0 0
This entity's orientation in the world. Roll is the rotation around the X axis, pitch is rotation around the Y axis and yaw is the rotation around the Z axis.

KillHierarchy <void>
Removes this entity and all its children from the world.
SetParent <target_destination>
Changes the entity's parent in the movement hierarchy.
SetParentAttachment <string>
Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. Entities must be parented before being sent this input. The parameter passed in should be the name of the attachment.
SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset <string>
Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on it's parent. Entities must be parented before being sent this input. The parameter passed in should be the name of the attachment. The entity will maintain it's position relative to the parent at the time it is attached.
ClearParent <void>
Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.
SetLocalAngles <vector>
Sets the rotation of the entity relative to the parent's rotation.
SetLocalOrigin <vector>
Sets the position of the entity relative to its parent if one exists. Otherwise relative to the world.
SetAbsAngles <vector>
Set this entity's angles, always relative to the world origin.
AddOutput <string>
Adds an entity I/O connection to this entity or changes keyvalues dynamically. Format: '<output name> <targetname>:<inputname>:<parameter>:<delay>:<max times to fire (-1 == infinite, 1 = only once)>' or 'keyvalue newval'. Very dangerous, use with care.
