Problems with FlxG.cameras.setDefaultDrawTarget

[Lbones-ai]

Hi everyone,
since the new version of flixel I have a problem with a deprecated command: FlxCamera.defaultCameras, in the api is suggested to use another command:

Deprecated: "FlxCamera.defaultCameras is deprecated, use FlxG.cameras.setDefaultDrawTarget instead"

Here is my code:

_gameCamera = new FlxCamera(0, 0, FlxG.width, FlxG.height);
_cameraUI = new FlxCamera(0, 0, FlxG.width, FlxG.height);

_gameCamera.bgColor = FlxColor.BLACK;
_cameraUI.bgColor = FlxColor.TRANSPARENT;

CAMERA_SCALE = 1.6;
_gameCamera.zoom = CAMERA_SCALE;

FlxG.cameras.reset(_gameCamera);
FlxG.cameras.add(_cameraUI);

FlxCamera.defaultCameras = [_gameCamera];                     //zoom works
//FlxG.cameras.setDefaultDrawTarget(_gameCamera, true);  //zoom doesn't work

The instruction:
FlxCamera.defaultCameras = [_gameCamera];
keeps the _gameCamera zoom at 1.6, but it's deprecated

The instruction:
FlxG.cameras.setDefaultDrawTarget(_gameCamera, true);
doesn't keep the zoom of _gameCamera, and any subsequent _gameCamera.zoom command is ignored

The only way for the zoom to work is using the old deprecated command, any idea why is that?

@Lbones-ai, the problem may be that you're adding _cameraUI as a defaultDraw camera, too, so it's drawing everything at zoom:1.0 after/on top of the _gameCamera, try the following and setDefaultDrawTarget should work as expected.

FlxG.cameras.add(_cameraUI, false);

Also, you shouldn't need to even call setDefaultDrawTarget(_gameCamera, true); as reset(_gameCamera) will set it as a default draw target

so is the code you put in required in some part of kade engine or not and if so where do i put it

[Dramasso]

like do i need to put FlxG.cameras.add(_cameraUI, false); somewhere

[Geokureli]

In LBones case he wanted 2 cameras, 1 for the game and 1 for the UI, so that he could zoom in the game without zooming in the UI. is there something specific you're trying to with cameras?

[Dramasso]

well before the game starts i get the FlxG.cameras.setDefaultDrawTarget error then it crashes at 20/21 loading

I would just create a new discussion thread explaining what you're trying to do, what code you used and what error it's giving you. I'll try to help you there
