A Hype can have multiple cameras but only one can be enabled at a time. When enabling a camera via logic links the previously enabled camera will automatically be disabled.
The Reset View and Set Camera options found in the quick menu are dependent on the currently enabled camera.
| Reset View | Reset the editor camera to the view of the enabled camera |
| Set Camera | Place the enabled camera to match the current view of the editor camera |
When enabled the Camera Node includes 2 visualizations. The cone represents the field of view and an the arrow represents the top of the frame. This allows you to get an idea of where it is looking without playtesting or resetting the editor view.
