    And making sure all your other flixel objects are on different cameras
  • h
    @User so just 
    uiView.cameras = [uiCam]
    should work?
  • h
    because I tried both
    Copy code
    uiView.cameras = [uiCam];
    and
    Copy code
    uiView.camera = uiCam;
    and none of them works, my ui doesn't show up
  • b
    The array is correct
  • b
    Also set scrollFactor of the top level component to 0
  • b
    And then turn on debug view bc you might be surprised what’s actually going on
  • h
    so now I'm doing
    Copy code
    Haxe
simCam = new FlxCamera(0, 0, FlxG.width, FlxG.height);
        simCam.bgColor = FlxColor.BLACK;
        simCam.zoom = 0.6;
        simCam.follow(player);
        simCam.followLead.set(50, 50);
        simCam.followLerp = 0.01;
        simCam.setScrollBoundsRect(0, 0, levelData[0].length * TILE_SIZE, levelData.length * TILE_SIZE);

        FlxG.cameras.reset(simCam);
        FlxCamera.defaultCameras = [simCam];
        
        uiCam = new FlxCamera(0, 0, FlxG.width, FlxG.height);
        uiCam.bgColor = FlxColor.TRANSPARENT;
        FlxG.cameras.add(uiCam);        

        uiView.cameras = [uiCam];
        uiView.scrollFactor.set(0, 0);
  • h
    debug view doesn't show much unfortunately
  • b
    Sorry, with bounding boxes on
  • b
    Idk are you adding the components to the game? It’s hard to tell from that block alone
  • b
    I would add them to the normal camera to see if they even show up, and then work from there
  • h
    yeah they work if I just add them to the normal camera, I just wanted my ui to be independent from the zoom
  • b
    Maybe the camera order then?
  • b
    But that's a good sign at least
  • b
    so ive tried to modify the FlxCamera demo to see
  • b
    and for the most part it works, but i dont get one oddity, which is probably me not really knowing how flixel works and the demo works
  • b
    ive added a button to the HUD.hx
  • b
    Copy code
    haxe
        var button = new Button();
        button.text = "HaxeUI Button";
        button.x = x + 6;
        button.top = startY + 170;
        add(button);
  • b
    but i dont get why there are two of them
  • b
    and i dont get why the 
    x
    that was set in HUD.hx is: 
    var x:Int = 10000;
  • b
    its probably more likely that im just not understanding something about how that flixel demo is setup, but you might want to use that as a basis Leech
  • b
    ok, added a button to the RPG demo... that seems to work too (and i only get one button this time, not two, still dont get why there is two buttons in the camera demo - maybe MSGHero can shed some light)
  • b
    @bright-gpu-74537 the button is showing up on multiple cameras
  • b
    Each camera is a renderer, and it’s probably defaulting to the whole camera array instead of just the one you want
  • b
    So like 
    button.cameras = [myCamera];
  • b
    Although that's what Leech was doing and I'm not sure what the issue was there
  • b
    ok, so how come the HUD.hx didnt show up twice? I just added to the HUD.hx in the camera demo
  • b
    tbf, i didnt really go into any depth, just added a button, seems to work fine for the RPG demo above
  • b
    so... ... ... i think cameras are all working fine?
  • b
    Leech if you continue to get issues, it might make sense making a tiny test project to test - ill have another play later, but not really knowing how to do things in flixel (even without haxeui) hampers progress for me
