Hi!
I've tried to figure out how GetLayer works. But for some reason my code doesnt work

Code: [Select]

#include "scripts\base.inc"


var layer = Scene.GetLayer("Cam2");


on "LeftClick"
{
actor.GoTo(1105, 761);
actor.TurnTo(DI_DOWN);
layer.Active = true;
Scene.SetActiveCamera("Camera002");
}

Clearly there are 2 layers in the scene.
is there something else i should to in order to swith the layer?

[metamorphium]

the code is correct.

Try:

Code: WME Script

1.  
2. var layer = Scene.GetLayer("Cam2");
3. Debug.Log(layer);
4.  
5.  

if result is null, it's most likely name mismatch (case sensitive etc.)

[Yakuzza]

Thanks metamorphium
But it just gives me an error Error@line 10: Trying to call method of a non-variable Debug

[metamorphium]

oh. it's Unity. sorry about it.

Game.LOG, not Debug.Log

[Yakuzza]

it says [layer]
what am i doing wrong?

[metamorphium]

okay so the code is obviously correct. Now you need to tell us more about what are you trying to achieve.

[Yakuzza]

What i'm trying to do is simple really
Switch background image along with the gamera

[metamorphium]

um. and how the scene looks like? Are you sure you are switching layer and not entity? Post your scene definition here.

[Yakuzza]

here you go


and the script

Code: [Select]

#include "scripts\base.inc"


var layer = Scene.GetLayer("Cam2");


on "LeftClick"
{
actor.GoTo(1105, 761);
actor.TurnTo(DI_DOWN);
layer.Active = true;
Scene.SetActiveCamera("Camera002");
Game.LOG(layer);
}
The thing is that camera is actually switching. But the background isnt

[metamorphium]

okay, so it's obvious.

Your scene is wrong. Cam2 is actually BEHIND the main layer so it's hidden. Move the main layer up by using the green arrow. Then deactivate Cam2 (the check sign to the left of Cam2) and try again.

[Yakuzza]

Yeah but then actor get invisible. Like covered by the background image

[metamorphium]

It shouldn't be like that. How about if you ziped some minimalistic project and send it to me? It's really a guesswork right now as it should work and you probably just do multiple things wrong. PM me a link and I'll help you more easily. 

[Mnemonic]

If the two camera views are very different, consider using two separate scenes. They can share the same geometry. WME Demo 3D does that as well.

[Yakuzza]

Sounds awesome metamorphium!

Yes, Mnemonic, I know there's another way. It's just that the scene is suppose to be crowded with actors.
It's gonna be a huge pain to spawn them all in each scene

[metamorphium]

Ah! I see what you are trying to do now.

It would indeed be better to use separate scene. However if zou insist on one scene, put this background not as a layer but as an entity to the main layer. Then switch it on through var ent = Scene.GetNode("club2"); ent.Active = true; Also don't forget to reposition actor with actor.SkipTo() to adjust to the new camera.
