Camera Monitor as Block (this is not the new feature that is comming)

[jolly turtle]

Hello, my suggestion is about a way to put a Camera Monitor inside a Frame (a frame from your mod, like the one you insert a keypad) to be able to use it as a block.

Beware : I know that the feature that the Camera Monitor can be placed inside a Vanilla Item Frame that will shows what the camera sees is in under development.

My idea is simple: you put the Camera Monitor inside ah SecurityCraft's Frame, and the frame shows a static image like TV test colors or something like that, and when you right click on the block, you have the same interface of the Camera Monitor used in hand.

This feature could be used on old versions that the new features with Vanilla Item Frame and real time image upgrade will not be possible to port. This allows the camera to be seen from a room in your base without the rist to lose the Camera Monitor and more than one player can see the camera in the same time. (using the Camera Monitor that is inside the Frame)

Thank you in advance.

Uh

The developpement version don’t allow you to view it in an item frame, but in the sc frame, so it is already in development

Yeah. The new feature already includes adding the monitor to the SecurityCraft frame. We already finished porting that feature to all versions we support.

You right-click the frame with the monitor, which adds all bound cameras to the frame. Then you can select a camera to view from the frame. Already having this interaction flow makes it moot to add something else.
