Hi

I have defined a BaseObject *cam = BaseObject::Alloc(Ocamera);

How can I otain the objects field of view ?
The documentation says, this value is not stored inside a container (see GetData()), but I haven't found the appropriate Getter for this data.

Cheers

You have to use GetParameter()/SetParameter(). Check the code below, cam is the camera object:

> \> GeData d; \> if (cam->GetParameter(DescLevel(CAMERAOBJECT_FOV),d,0)) \> { \> Real fov = d.GetReal(); \> GePrint(RealToString(fov)); //print current FOV \> d = pi/2; //set FOV to 90 degree \> cam->SetParameter(DescLevel(CAMERAOBJECT_FOV),d,0); \> cam->Message(MSG_UPDATE); \> EventAdd(); \> } \>

cheers,
Matthias
