CAMERAS in scene ... ( set name | active )

When you have one camera in scene then is possible rename camera in inspector.

But when you add second camera to scene and name is changed on second camera too, from this moment you can't rename any cameras in inspector.

 

EDIT: Try delete first chars from entity name and pres ENTER => name is not changed, but when you add char at end, then name is changed. Looks like name is change only if char is added, but not when is any deleted.

When you have i.e. 2 cameras in scene, then first added camera is MAIN (it's OK), but when this camera is set to hidden in inspector, then second added camera is not automaticaly activated for projection after run map. I tried this fix in script but 

...

local entities = game.world:GetEntities()

for n = 1, #entities do

    print(entities[n].name)

    if entities[n].name == "DebugCamera" then

        print("DEBUG camera exist ...")        

        entities[n]:SetProjectionMode(PROJECTION_PERSPECTIVE)

    end

    if entities[n].name == "Camera" then

        print("MAIN camera exist ...")        

        entities[n]:SetProjectionMode(PROJECTION_NONE)

    end

end
...

vhere n is ID to second camera, script crash with error attempt to call a nil value (method 'SetProjectionMode')

This is one mistake:

entities[n]:SetProjectionMode(PROJECTION_PERSPECTIVE) 

The entity should be cast to a camera before calling camera commands:

local camera = Camera(entities[n])
camera:SetProjectionMode(PROJECTION_PERSPECTIVE)

I don't seem to have any problems renaming cameras in the editor. Is it possible to post a video showing the steps I should take to make an error occur?

Yes works but only if you use [Backspace] key. Try it delete selected text with key [DEL] then is deleted text only in textfield name and when you press [ENTER], name of entity is not changed to current text in textfierld name.

Ah, okay. So when you hit enter after delete, no change in the text is detected...
