Title: Do all cameras have to be full screen or can they be in a dialog box?
Post by: Javaman on 14 Mar 2004, 08:24:43

and if they can be in a dialog box, any codes examples i can look at as to how its done.

i read when i did a search about using "forcemap' and put that into a dialog but there was no code exeample for me to read.

thanks

not sure what you mean by dialog box, but if you mean letterbox, or "widescreen" effect when your "movie" is viewed:

showcinemaborder false

is the command to use, and when the movie ends and the camera is destroyed the black bars at top and bottom are removed and you are back to full screen

Simple answer: No.
Cant have camera's in dialogue boxes with the current engine limitations... And if it was at all possible I'm sure someone would have done it by now.

True, but you can cover up all of the screen w/dialogs,  EXCEPT a small box, so it would look like the camera was only a small portion of the screen. But you couldn't have two different cameras (one for the player's view and one from a camera) if that is what you're looking for.
