view

Your own live camera window, drawn like Third Person.

One window per frame for all scripts together; the first call wins. It costs one extra map draw while it is on. Needs map data.

Function	What it does
`view.window(x, y, w, h, options)`	Shows the map from any point. Call it in `on_frame` every frame you want it.

#view.window

view.window(x, y, w, h, options)

Shows the map from any point. Call it in on_frame every frame you want it.

x, y, w, hnumber

Screen rectangle.

optionstable

pos (camera point, required), look_at (vector) or angles ({pitch, yaw}), zoom (0.3 to 4, default 1).

boolean

false when another window already took this frame or map data is missing.

Example

local w, h = draw.screen()
view.window(w - 384, 120, 360, 203, { pos = vec.new(x, y, z + 120), look_at = site })
