Hello

I can get the X of a camera with the GetCameraX command, and it takes the camera ID as parameter: https://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/3D/GetCameraX.htm
But how can I create a new camera? CreateCamera doesn't seem to exist.

Is the parameter cameraID in all camera related functions useless? Or am I missing something very obvious?

Thanks

The main rendering camera is always ID 1.

There is no need to create another camera as you can only render one scene at a time. It is possible to place multiple camera views on the screen (for 2 player games or 3d viewports but it still only needs one camera ID which is always 1. (in the future it may change but for now there is no need for anything other than camera id 1)

Yeah, AppGameKit only supports a single camera, so the ID value is currently kinda pointless. When using the VR plugin, I have to use that single camera to render to the monitor and to both screens in the HMD, but the VR plugin takes over the camera settings like aspect ratio and field of view.
