These scripts only seem to run automatically for cameras that are bound to views, which makes a lot of sense.

You also no longer have to have a High-Depth object run setup code in draw begin either. So, what’s nice about this? Well, first of all, the scripts are only called for visible cameras assigned to views – this means you can put code in these scripts, and it won’t waste time running if the view isn’t being drawn – this is good when skipping frames. The end script for the camera is called.The draw events are executed for that view (includes draw begin and draw end).The begin script for the camera for that view is called.

The cameras for all visible and active view ports have their update script called.

By looking at the manual, we get this information: There are three types of camera script – “update”, “begin” and “end”. Okay, we’re finally on to one of may favorite things about the new camera functions – scripts! Again, 640×480 size, position will be 0, and we’ll set the object following parameters to the default: If you want to see basic use of camera_create() with 3D, check out my guide on “ Getting Started with 3D in GMS2“. We will be using camera_create_view() for the purpose of this guide, as we’re working in the context of 2D. When creating a camera, there are two functions:īoth functions return a unique camera ID to be used with all other camera related functions.Ĭamera_create() creates a camera that is effectively a blank canvas – you need to specify location and size manually before it can be used properly in 2D – I say this because you can use it in 3D without specifying these.Ĭamera_create_view() is much better in regards to 2D development as it forces you to specify all the view parameters on creation.

This section also shows you how to set view parameters through code, since they are now managed by cameras. Instead of thinking that they are “just there” and usable (like with views), it’s useful to understand that they are now more like instances – you have to create a camera, assign information to it, and delete it when you are done with it. If you are used to views, cameras are going to be a little different. Other camera functions and what they do.The other way to draw a camera without binding it to a view.Setting a camera to follow an object through code (using the standard object tracking system).Creating and deleting a Camera and Assigning cameras to views.Setting up a view (to use with cameras).Here are the things we’ll cover in this guide: If you have any other questions or corrections, please let me know!.If you want to know more about a function, or something is confusing you, remember to check the manual! You can find out more about most built-in functions, variables or constants by clicking on them in the code! It will open the relevant documentation page in a new tab.I’ll be going through cameras in GML – There are no D&D camera functions – so it helps if you understand code.I will be referring to “GameMaker Studio 2” as “GMS2” throughout the guide, because I am too lazy to keep writing it in full.Important things to know about this guide If you are strictly no-code, then you will have to use the views with the room editor anyway, as there are no Drag&Drop camera functions currently. However, they are now far less flexible – you can no longer change view_view through code anymore – unless you set up a camera to do more advanced tweaking. The example controls for the project are simply “click to focus” and “scroll to zoom”įirstly, I’m going to point something out – you don’t actually need a camera to have a view – the room editor still has views which work in very much the same way as before. Not spectacular, but demonstrates camera creation + assigning, view moving, zooming and interpolation. The included project, which uses information from all of these guides, looks like this: Since cameras are totally new to GMS2, I’m going to write this from the PoV of someone very new to views, but also understands basic GML. This guide aims to give you a basic insight into the new camera system, and using it with views. I’ll also update the guide if there a better methods that I haven’t thought of/found out about yet, or if it turns out I’m using some function totally inappropriately. I will leave a ( dd/mm/yy) formatted date here, so you know when this guide was last updated: (Added basic splitscreen/multiview set-up code) I’ve seen a lot of questions regarding cameras, so I’m aiming to make this into a sort-of definitive guide for using them! Hence, if I’ve got something wrong or there are better ways of doing something, tell me in the comments and I’ll update it!
