move camera outside createScene

[al404]

i got stuck with my project, the file is pretty complex now

i need to access camera control outside createScene function

all my code is inside createScene, camera is created inside that function, i also have  a function that i found in some post

function ArcAnimation(camera, toAlpha, toBeta, toRadius, position, animSpeed) 

this function moves the camera 

i just moved this function outside createScene, because i need to trigger the first camera animation from an HTML element, but camera is not defined outside createScene

i try to access camere with scene.camera

since i initialize the scene with var scene = createScene();

but doesn't work

you most define camera outside the createScene or use this

window.eval('var camera;');

 // This creates and positions a free camera (non-mesh)
 camera = new BABYLON.FreeCamera("camera1", new BABYLON.Vector3(0, 5, -10), scene);

if i bring camera out i guess i need to initialize scene outside, would this be ok?

Did you try scene.activeCamera ?

[aWeirdo]

As adam mentioned scene.activeCamera should work. but you can also do this:

var camera;

//createScene function

//...

camera = new BABYLON.camera...

//...

//end of createScene


//do whatever you want to do 
moveCamera();

function moveCamera(){
  if(!camera) return;
  camera.position.x += 10;
  camera.position.z += 10;
}

i go with scene.activeCamera it works, i did try scene.camera and did not work

probi i could also return an array with scene and camera from createScene, did not think about that before

thanks
