Hello, I’m trying to anchor compass in Top down left corner. That’s not problem, but I’m zooming in and out screen in game and I want to zoom everithing except the compass. Can anybody help me please?

I see two different options:

  1. Use a gui component instead. The component is easy to anchor in place and it is also rendered in a separate pass and not affected by the zoom of a camera.
  2. Assign the compass a different material/tag and render it in a separate pass. You need a custom render script to achieve this.

Thank you very much, I used gui component with this code and it is working.

function update(self, dt)
local angle = math.atan2(vmath.vector3(0).y - gui.get_position(gui.get_node(“kompas”)).y, vmath.vector3(0).x - gui.get_position(gui.get_node(“kompas”)).x)
rot = vmath.quat_rotation_z(angle)
gui.set_rotation(gui.get_node(“kompas”), rot)
end

Small tip: If you put your code (in the forum post) within 3 apostophes, it will get formatted like Lua:

E.g. ``` some code ```

function update(self, dt)
    ...
end
