[Closed] List all Cameras in a Dropdown list, how?

Apr 09, 2008 4:45 am

You know when you press C you get a list of all your Cameras that you can select? How do I apply this to a dropdownlist and when the user selects the camera from the list, the viewport now views from that camera?

Im completely lost on where to start with this. Here is what I have:

group "Camera"
		(
			dropdownlist camSelect
		)

I hope thats not too complicated

   -- grab al cameras in the scene
   cams = for c in cameras where classof c != TargetObject collect c
   -- get the camera names
   items = for c in cams collect c.name
   -- populate the dropdown list items
   camSelect.items = items 
  )
  on camSelect selected i do
  (
   -- set the viewport to the chosen camera
   viewport.setCamera cams[i]
