I've been searching for an answer to my question: "Is it possible to rotate the view actor?" And I haven't come up with any answers, this probably means that no, you can't rotate that.
But I'd like an answer from experienced people, so I ask again: Is it possible to rotate the view actor?

Well, if you mean in game, no, but you can change make the view rotated, in terms of pocketpc like devices.

maybe if you learned the "ins and outs" of the draw_from function you could. i know you can do split screen and rotate .bmps so why not a rotated screen? though it would probably be hard code and lag alot

I mean in game in real time
Well thanks for the info anyway.

Yeah, like Jimmy said, it would be difficult and would not be very reasonable for use in-game
But oh well, many of us work around this limitation, also, It's very fun when people talk about split-screen with the draw actor, because I invented it

Why wouldn't it be reasonable for use in game? A rotating view was one of the USPs of one of my old game projects. My old lead programmer made a very well functioning prototype I remember. But with my team lost I have to resort to other solutions than people programming for me

I meant it's not reasonable in a Game Editor game,
the game engine doesn't really support it, and canvas actors take a heavy toll on frame rate

You just have to pick your battles when it comes to Game Editor, If it's really neccessary for speed and rotation, you could make a rotation for every actor in the game and code appropriately, which would only take forever
