Camera position in Editor

[Raul]

As the title says: it could be very helpful to have the camera pos and maybe rotation somewhere in the editor. Maybe in the bottom of the screen?

You can basically do that yourself with a simple thingoid (and even have it always loaded with your default.sbx), just hook into the Flip hook.

Something like this might do the trick. haven't tested it, my laptop can't run the engine.

require("scripts/class")
require("scripts/hooks")

camerapos = fw.main.camera:GetPosition(1)

function DrawCameraPos() 

SetBlend(1)
DrawText(camerapos,0,60) 
SetBlend(0) 
end 

AddHook("Flip",DrawCameraPos)

I guess you'd have to move the "camerapos = " part to the function.

Run this script:

Notify(fw.main.camera.position:ToString())

I will try the solutions when I'll go home.

Thanks guys.

Masterxilo and Josh gave the right answer. See the attachment for a complete thingoid.

require("scripts/class")
require("scripts/hooks")

function DrawCameraCoord() 
cameraPos =fw.main.camera.position:ToString()
cameraRot =fw.main.camera.rotation:ToString()

       SetBlend(1)
       DrawText(cameraPos,0,60)
DrawText(cameraRot,0,80)  
       SetBlend(0)

end 

AddHook("Flip",DrawCameraCoord)
