I spent six hours this morning trying to get TorqueScript to do ~anything~ with the camera...

Reading, searching trying anything at all I could think of...

Obviously I am fundamentally misunderstanding the camera in T3d.

All I want to do is make a static camera, and point it at my presentation field.

Any ideas???

I feel I have to explain my avatar. That was the first thing I did in Sculptris that didn't explode all over the place. Version 2. ZOMG when you guys where helping me switch to max why didn't you say Mudbox? Oh wait you did and I ignored you.

    You can drop Camera objects into the world via the editor (Library tab -> Level tab -> Level folder -> Camera). Alternatively you can spawn them using TorqueScript by using:

    %myCamera = spawnObject("Camera", "<nameOfSomeCameraDataBlock>");

    Placing them via the editor is typically preferable because the camera objects will be saved in the level, you can adjust their position/rotation visually rather than tinkering with the raw numbers in TScript and you can change the camera's control mode (from Freefly to Stationary, etc.).

    Once you've created the cameras you can use: GameConnection::setCameraObject() to force a client object to render using a specific camera.
