Camera Switch using class functions

klarax

Hey,

As title says, looking to write a line of code that will switch the camera.

http://www.adventurecreator.org/scripting-guide/class_a_c_1_1___camera.html

Looked into the docs and saw no switch camera, or something simular.

Also, needs to set a variable the same time via code also.

Cheers

Since the MainCamera is what performs the actual rendering, the code to change camera is located in the MainCamera class.

The GlobalVariables and LocalVariables classes can be used to read/write global and local variables respectively.

Hi Chris, thanks for the reply.

Im still having trouble switching to a second GameCamera2D in my script.

 AC.MainCamera - has no functions found - just like when all functions are private, but looking into the class, they are all public. 

However, AC.GlobalVariables has all the function listed.

I have also tried looking at Kickstarter:

AC.KickStarter.mainCamera.SetGameCamera(cam, 0.0f, MoveMethod.Smooth, null);

AC.KickStarter.mainCamera.SnapToAttached ();

no errors, but the camera didn't switch.

Anyway, hope you can help. It's giving me a headache haha

Cheers

GlobalVariables has static functions, but MainCamera does not - that's why you need to refer to the "KickStarter" instance instead.

Any errors in the console?  Know that you can always just place a "Camera: Switch" Action in a Cutscene and run that Cutscene through script instead - just call it's "Interact" function.

Hey,

Got it working. Same code with kickstarter, but this time works. lol

To run an interaction through code - how is this achievable ?

Thanks

Same as a Cutscene - it derives from "ActionList" as well, so use the Interact() function.

Got it
