You know when you press C you get a list of all your Cameras that you can select? How do I apply this to a dropdownlist and when the user selects the camera from the list, the viewport now views from that camera?

Im completely lost on where to start with this. Here is what I have:

group "Camera"
(
dropdownlist camSelect
)

I hope thats not too complicated ;)

Hi,

here you go ;)

(
rollout test_rollout "test"
(
local cams=#()
dropdownlist camSelect

on test_rollout open do
(
-- grab al cameras in the scene
cams = for c in cameras where classof c != TargetObject collect c
-- get the camera names
items = for c in cams collect c.name
-- populate the dropdown list items
camSelect.items = items
)
on camSelect selected i do
(
-- set the viewport to the chosen camera
viewport.setCamera cams[i]
)
)
createdialog test_rollout
)

You can also use my ViewportControl script...

Just use the viewportControlCamera macroscript and hook it up to an icon or hotkey.
