env_player_viewfinder

Code classes:

env_player_viewfinder is a point entity present in Portal 2. It shows a screen overlay that mimics the view of an npc_security_camera, as seen in Coop maps. Valve didn't actually use this entity though, and apparently did the real effect through a different method. To do: Describe their method if possible.

Does not work in Singleplayer.
