Switch cameras

[Boris]

Hi guys , tell me how to make the switch button for camera, so the camera switched to the upper left screen !?

Could you please try to explain a little better, what you mean by "the camera switched to the upper left screen"? At the moment this is unclear to me, making it very hard to help...

I want to create a camera and attach them to objects and then switch between the cameras and so it was the upper-left viewport / i hope you understand me /

[Hirazi Blue]

So you define two cameras beforehand and want a button to switch between them in the upper-left viewport? A script button like that obviously will have to know which cameras (names) to switch between.

Try this very quickly made, untested little script. Replace the strings after CameraName1 and CameraName2 with the strings for the actual names of your cameras. Create a toolbar, drag the script unto it, to make a button.

Code: Select all

CameraName1 = "Camera"
CameraName2 = "Camera1"
camthis = Application.GetViewCamera(0)
if str(camthis) == str(CameraName1):
	Application.SetViewCamera(str(CameraName2), 0)
else:
	Application.SetViewCamera(str(CameraName1), 0)

It's Python, by the way. Look out for the tabs (the lines after if and else should be indented by one tab... ;)
For this to work, one of your two camera has to already be selected in Viewport A.
