Ok, I've got two cameras. One on top and one on bottom. The only problem is that the top camera's view looks WAY wider than it should.

Here is my code.


Can someone tell me what's wrong?

I don't suffer from laziness... I enjoy every minute of it!

A screenshot might help - without the media we can't run it and see exactly what you mean.

[Edit] Just a thought - have you tried using cameras 1 and 2 instead of 0. Might be some default FOV thing with camera 0 that hasn't been set the same with camera 1. Using 1 and 2 means this setting would not be set on both of them. Worth a try I suppose...

Hi,

My experience with split screens is that you need to reset the camera's aspect ratio; otherwise, your game objects appear stretched (either twice as wide if you split the screen in half horizontally, or twice as high if it's a vertical split).

Try using the command
set camera aspect <camera number>, <aspect>

where <aspect> is equal to the width of the split screen / height

I think DBPro probably doesn't reset the camera aspect for the default camera (number 0) when you restrict its view; whereas when you create a new camera, the aspect is set correctly (which is roughly what TDK_Man is getting at).

Good luck!
