Load scene in second camera?

#1 Youd have to have two GuiSceneViews, one with the default camera with a child guisceneview with your gui camera.

#2 Thanks for the answer. Do you have any more information on this? I can't
find anything useful at the docs... am i missing something? Thanks in advantage.

not working code...

public GuiStrategy()
        {
            GUISceneview mapScreen = new GUISceneview();
            GUIStyle strategyStyle = new GUIStyle();

            this.IsParentOf(mapScreen);
            this.Name = "GUIPlay";
            this.Style = strategyStyle;
            this.Size = new Vector2(1280, 720);

            mapScreen.Name = "StrategicMap";
            mapScreen.Style = strategyStyle;
            mapScreen.Size = new Vector2(128, 72);
          
            T2DSceneCamera strategyCam = new T2DSceneCamera();
            strategyCam.CenterPosition = new Vector2(0.0f, 0.0f);
            strategyCam.Size = new Vector2(128.0f, 72.0f);
            strategyCam.Visible = true;
            strategyCam.Name = "StrategyCam";
           
            TorqueObjectDatabase.Instance.Register(strategyCam);

            mapScreen.Style = strategyStyle;
            mapScreen.Camera = strategyCam;

#3 Stefan your games looking nice.

#4 actually thats "Eschalon's Book" from Basilisk Games, it's not my game but mine should look like this in the near future.

If you missed this undeground goodie i would give it a try, it's a really nice indie rpg.

Back to my question:
Has anybody a code sample how these two SceneViews work together and load different cameras and .txscene data as Mr. Perkins suggested? I just can't get it right, it always displays nothing (black screen).

#5 I'm curious stefan, have you done the "Airplane Tutorial"? I highly suggest that first... Then work on your double scene loading idea. I understand wanting to load a separate scene because you want to be able to template all your GUI stuff probably? I'm sure you can.

Theres a quick modification to the starter game that has two cameras overlapping.

The only code I changed was in the BeginRun method. I also added a second Torque logo to the default scene that is where the second camera is so that you can see that it works:

protected override void BeginRun()
        {
            base.BeginRun();

            // load our scene objects from XML.  Torque X is designed to load game data from XML, but this is not strictly required;
            // anything in an XML file can also be created manually in C# code.  The SceneLoader is provided by TorqueGame and can be
            // used to load and unload XML files.
            SceneLoader.Load(@"data\levels\levelData.txscene");

            T2DSceneCamera camera1 = new T2DSceneCamera();
            camera1.Name = "Camera1";
            camera1.Size = new Vector2(100,75);
            camera1.Extent = new Vector2(100, 75);

            T2DSceneCamera camera2 = new T2DSceneCamera();
            camera2.Name = "Camera2";
            camera2.Size = new Vector2(100, 75);
            camera2.Extent = new Vector2(100, 75);
            camera2.Position = new Vector2(200, 0);

            TorqueObjectDatabase.Instance.Register(camera1);
            TorqueObjectDatabase.Instance.Register(camera2);

            GUISceneview scene1 = new GUISceneview();
            scene1.Style = new GUIStyle();
            scene1.Size = GUICanvas.Instance.Size;
            scene1.Name = "Scene 1";
            scene1.Camera = camera1;

            GUISceneview scene2 = new GUISceneview();
            scene2.Style = new GUIStyle();
            scene2.Size = GUICanvas.Instance.Size;
            scene2.Name = "Scene 2";
            scene2.Camera = camera2;
            scene2.Folder = scene1;

            GUICanvas.Instance.SetContentControl(scene1);
        }
