Hello all,

My game currently plays at 167fps with a "camera". But when I go back and make it "camera 1" it reduces my frame rate to 75, yuk!.

I am using the usual;

make camera 1
set camera range 1,1,500

do
...
....
set camera to follow 1,x,y,z,angle,distance,height,smooth,collision
....
...
loop


but if I rem out the creation of the camera and remove the "1" from the s.c.t.f command, it seems to be fine. Is there a trick to increase fps when a person assigns a number to a camera?

tx for any help

The default camera is camera zero. It always exists, and you cannot delete it.

Thigs will go faster with just the default camera. Only create an extra camera if you need multiple views.

thanx, that actually brought back my frames. I was using;

cx#= CAMERA POSITION X(1)
cz#= CAMERA POSITION Z(1)

I replaced the 1's with 0's and whalla!

thank you much for the advice.
