Better description for .has_game_view()

Post by aubergine18 »

The current description in the API docs for has_game_view() is somewhat useless:
API docs wrote:has_game_view()
Does the player have a game view?
That only makes sense if I already know what has_game_view() does, which I don't, so knowing that has_game_view() tells me if the player has a game view, leaves me completely none the wiser. What, exactly, is a game view?
Better forum search for modders: Enclose your search term in quotes, eg. "font_color" or "custom-input" - it prevents the forum search from splitting on hypens and underscores, resulting in much more accurate results.

The method is actually completely useless as it is so I'm just going to take it out for 0.13.12.

It was added to make the game trailer and was only meant to be used in the trailer mod when other unsafe things like writing mouse position are enabled.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
