Hi,
I’m using the React template for my project and I would like to access to the complete context of Needle from outside.
I succeed to get my needle domElement, I can access to my scene.
But I’m trying to make a switchCamera feature witch switch between Orthographic and perspective Camera, but I can’t access to needleDom.current._context.mainCamera or mainCameraComponent
Somebody has an idea ?

You can get the context via await getContext() on the engine element from the outside (or the static Context.Current)
Oh thanks
And, it said the the context.mainCamera is in read only
I would like to do
this.context.mainCamera = this.orthocamera;
And I don’t see a set() function, how could I do ?
by user 224464722878005248
I believe it’s as simple as turning one cam off and the other on and both having the MainCamera tag
(similar to how it works in Unity with Camera.main)
Okay thanks !
by user 224464722878005248
The context has setCurrentCamera(yourCamera) for it
Okay because turn on/off doesn’t work
Thanks

You dont need to turn it off too if both have the msincamera tag, they stack.
turn it off => visible = false ?

if(this.originalCamera && this.orthographicCamera) {
// @ts-ignore
this.originalCamera.SetActive(false)
// @ts-ignore
this.orthographicCamera.SetActive(true)
// @ts-ignore
this.context.setCurrentCamera(this.orthographicCamera)
}
Like it ?

I think I miss something
by user 224464722878005248
You enable or disable the camera object
this.context.setCurrentCamera(this.orthographicCamera)
Where this.orthographicCamera is a THREE.OrthographicCamera
It generate an error : cam.buildCamera is not a function
by user 224464722878005248
It needs to be the camera component, you have the threejs camera.
The camera component also has the enabled property
Great, happy to hear
