The default camera has an ID of 0. Is it possible to delete this camera? I dont want the default camera to have an ID of 0. I want it to have some arbitrary ID. So to do this I thought you would do:



Will this work? Can I delete the default camera? I dont see any problem with this in my code, however I want to make sure the default camera is actually getting deleted. Because the more cameras, the worse performance. Since you cant delete the default light, I thought this might be so for the camera aswell. It doesnt say in the docs, why Im asking.

I have noted that with some commands, I have to set the main camera (ID 0) to active and then use the command without ID parameter.
When I use the commands with the ID parameter and use 0 as ID then I have problems...

I think the MoveCamera command is one of them.

Anyone has similar problems or is it only me?
(I try to create a list for what commands will work with ID 0 and
what commands only work with maincamera when I don't use an ID parameter)

Here is something that doesn't work for me:
-dbTurnCameraRight ( 0, fAngle );
-dbTurnCameraLeft ( 0, fAngle );
//edit
-dbPitchCameraUp ( 0, fAngle );
-dbPitchCameraDown ( 0, fAngle );


//Sample code attached

Is this only me?

Yep, it doesnt work for me either. Also through testing I found something else interesting. I made a new camera with an ID of 1, and set that to be the current camera. Then I used the cube from your example also with an ID of 1. If you pressed left or right, the cube would spin accordingly instead of the camera. And if the cube and new camera had different IDs, the same behavior would occur as in your example. Here is the code that generates the spinning cube instead of spinning camera:
