I am trying to get the x and y coordinates on the screen in game. I have pasted the code below. All I am getting is camera does not exist, so how can I make it so the camera that is being controlled is camera one?

This should really be in the newcomers section.
In the future try searching the forum first then if you cannot find the answer then post.
The answer is you have not created camera 1.
Camera 0 is the default camera which does exist.
You are positioning camera 0 but trying to get data for camera 1 which does not exist.
If you do not specify the camera when you "position camera 50,50,50" it is positioning camera 0.

Thank you!

I realized there was a newcomers section right after I posted this. I tried to search the forum and didn't find anything. I also apologize for my terrible grammar as I was a bit tired and stressed while writing the post.

I just posted something in the newcomers that is involving this same game.
