Control points

[Mr.Chillinµt]

I'm making a video where control points are important, but in all my sessions the points are missing, any idea what I should do?

Mr.Chillinµt :

Did you create them as you made the clip? What editor were you in when you made them (if you did) ie. Clip, motion or graph editor?

If you create Control points (book marks) in say the "motion editor" they are not created in the other 2 editors automatically, you have to set them up by moving to the point in time in the one you created it in then switch to the other editor and create a bookmark there. (Becareful adding points in the graph editor, they actually change animations between the points created.)

[Mr.Chillinµt]

When I said "control points" I meant the capture points in tf2, they don't appear in my SFM sessions

what map did you use?

Try recording a few seconds of gameplay.

I tried, it didn't work

You made sure you had the current shot selected, clicked the "record" button below a viewport, unchecked everything except "props" and "misc ents", clicked "ok", waited a few seconds after the fourth beep, pressed Escape? There's no way that didn't work unless your SFM is broken, or you messed with the display settings.

Cap points are actual models. If you want it in scene without using record mode, look for cap_point_base.mdl. Skin0 is uncaptured, Skin1 is Red and Skin2 is Blue. The uncaptured hologram is cappoint_hologram. The red and blue holograms are body parts of the neutral hologram. You'll have to animate it spinning.

[Mr.Chillinµt]

it worked, thank you very much for your help

Hey, there's a much easier solution to this \

All you have to do is right click anywhere in a viewport and open ''Draw game entities'' and check ''Other entities''

Don't know or care, RichardF's comment helped for pl_ maps too so I'm happy

go hit record wait about a few seconds and hit stop, and got to the plus sign and hit create exicting elements and it should say it. and you can edit it to be red or blue i think

Why are you so compelled to do this! This thread died off 3 years ago! Shame on you

What an idiot. It's 3 years old thread where the issue is already been resolved.
