perspective
- gets/sets whether or not the camera is using a perspective or an orthographic view
- Boolean
- 1 = True = camera using perspective view
- 0 = False = camara using orthographic view
Note:
- Perspective View: The size of the game object on the screen depends on it's distance from the camera. It gets smaller as the distance from the camera increases.
- Orthographic View: The size of the game object on the screen is always the same size. It doesn't get smaller as it farther away from the camera.
Sample Code
################## get if camera is using a perspective view
# import bge
import bge
# get current scene
scene = bge.logic.getCurrentScene()
# get a list of the cameras
camList = scene.cameras
# get camera
# my camera is named security_cam
cam = camList["security_cam"]
# get if camera is using a perspective view
type = cam.perspective
Sample Code
################## set the camera's view type
# import bge
import bge
# get current scene
scene = bge.logic.getCurrentScene()
# get a list of the cameras
camList = scene.cameras
# get camera
# my camera is named security_cam
cam = camList["security_cam"]
# set camera to orthographic view
cam.perspective = False
