Hi All,

I was wondering if there was a way to have a window within a window in DB Pro.

For example, to have the main window show camera 1, but than also have about a 100*100 pixel window up in the right hand corner for camera 2.

If so, how could I do it?

Thanks,
john...

Firstly, *don't* create two cameras. The main camera is camera zero and does not need to be created.

Use the SET CAMERA TO IMAGE command to draw your camera to an image, then paste it to your display.

Watch out for the size of the image you use. Some graphics cards require square images that are a power of two in size (eg 64x64, 128x128, but not 100x100).

this uses another camera on the screen with the "set camera view" command, it provides a simple radar of the center of the map (it is just a tester, I didn`t add camera tracker, if you want ot see it track then just set the x,z of camera 1 to camera 0 (default))

Mentor.

ps:you need a bitmap for the matrix floor, any bitmap will do just change the name, if the fps is too low (below 60) then change "objects" to something lower
