sky_camera
sky_camera is an existing point entity available
with all versions of Mapbase.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 (parentname) <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.

- Sky Color (skycolor) <color255>
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.
