SceneWindow2D.getCurrentCameraArea() returns NULL

by Brian Wilson · in Torque Game Builder · 04/11/2005 (10:21 am) · 5 replies

Quote:getCurrentCameraArea() Get Current Camera Area. - Retrieves current camera area as (X / Y / Width / Height). Note that this may be constantly
changing if the camera is in motion.

even when I type it in the console, I get nothing:
==>sceneWindow2D.getCurrentCameraArea();
==>sceneWindow2D.getCurrentCameraArea();
==>sceneWindow2D.getCurrentCameraArea();

Is this a known bug?

Have you tried
echo(sceneWindow2D.getCurrentCameraArea());

Brian,

That's weird. I just tried...
echo("CAMERA AREA: " SPC sceneWindow2D.getCurrentCameraArea() );
... in the SDK and it works fine.

Is there anything special going on in your script?

What does the standard SDK return?

EDIT: Matt beat me. ;)

Lol... I also typed a lot less... I'm lazy lol...

yeah think I used getCurrentCameraArea() for panning in my RTS GID

Doh, not sure why I thought that would return anything outside of an echo(); My bad. I was up way to late coding last night and I guess my brain is still bent.

I never actually spotted that you weren't using echo. Matt has a better eye than me! ;)

Glad you got it working.
