Displaying an entity's POV on the computer

[AlsoGhostglowDev]

Is it possible to get an entity (e.g a player/mob)'s POV and display it on a monitor?

I am not familiar with the CC:T's Lua environment but I am familiar with how base Lua works so I'm a beginner on this sort of things

So there isn't any built-in functionality for this — CC computers run entirely on the server, so they don't have access to all the client-side features you'd need to make this work.

It is technically possible to do in Lua, but in a very limited/janky way. You can use external peripheral mods (e.g. Plethora or Advanced Peripherals) to scan surrounding blocks, and then write a 3D renderer to actually draw the scene. This would be a fun project, but also a lot of work for probably middling results, so possibly not worth it.

ah, alright. thanks for the answer!

Hi, came back to this question wondering if CC:Tweaked works with SecurityCraft, possibly connecting the Camera Monitor item from SC to CC:T's monitor

No, there is no integration between CC:T and SecurityCraft
