Is it possible to display the world in a small window?

by Robert Geiman · in Torque Game Engine · 09/26/2005 (9:12 pm) · 4 replies

For our game we are looking at having a GUI interface take up most of the screen, with the view of the world taking up a small portion of the screen. Is it possible for Torque to display the entire world JUST in that small window? I don't want to display it on the entire screen and overlay the GUI controls, instead I actually want to shrink down the entire world view to fit in that window.

Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so could you point me in the right direction on how to accomplish this?

Hmmm, that's fairly close to what we were looking for. We didn't really want an overhead view, but rather a FPS view, but I'm assuming this is can be accomplished simply by tweaking the camera view.

Thanks a lot for the link, Nathan! This is twice now that I've posted a question and both times I've been answered in under 10 minutes... absolutely amazing community support. =)

Um, yes, that worked magnificently! I was unaware the game view was just a GUI control. So much to learn... ;)

Thanks Ben!
