#HELP I've tried to set my view's through object code but the game uses the room view numbers instead

My idea is: I use three views, (0, 1 and 2). 0 is background, 1 is hud, 2 is playable area. 2 is above 1 and 1 is above 0. I have a start room were I iniciate the camera and in the next step I change rooms.
view 0 stays in cords (0, 0). view 1 stays in cords (480, 0), at the right of view 0.
The views logic are written by code, but 🎶 for some reason I can explain 🎶 the game uses the default numbers in the view room section.

And before you say, NO, the cameras are not active nor visible in any room.

In objCamera:
Create Event
window_set_size(VIEW_0_W * 2, VIEW_0_H * 2);
surface_resize(application_surface, VIEW_0_W * BASE_FACTOR, VIEW_0_H * BASE_FACTOR);
alarm[0] = 1;

End Step Event
if (!instance_exists(objPlayer)) exit;

var _x = (objPlayer.x div VIEW_2_W) * VIEW_2_W;
var _y = (objPlayer.y div VIEW_2_H) * VIEW_2_H;

_x = clamp(_x, 0, room_width - VIEW_2_W);
_y = clamp(_y, 0, room_height - VIEW_2_H);

camera_set_view_pos(VIEW_2, _x, _y);

if keyboard_check_released(ord("K")) {
if window_get_fullscreen() {
window_set_fullscreen(false);
}
else {
window_set_fullscreen(true);
}
}

Alarm 0:
window_center();

room_goto(Room2);

Room initiation
view_visible[0] = true;
view_visible[1] = true;
view_visible[2] = true;
view_enabled = true;
camera_set_view_size(VIEW_0, VIEW_0_W, VIEW_0_H);
camera_set_view_size(VIEW_1, VIEW_1_W, VIEW_1_H);
camera_set_view_size(VIEW_2, VIEW_2_W, VIEW_2_H);

camera_set_view_pos(VIEW_0, 0, 0);
camera_set_view_pos(VIEW_1, 480, 0);

For now, the player just moves freely with simple code:
In objPlayer, Step Event
var hmove = keyboard_check(vk_right) - keyboard_check(vk_left);
var vmove = keyboard_check(vk_down) - keyboard_check(vk_up);

x += hmove2;
y += vmove
2;

My question is simple, does someone have an idea of what may cause this and how could I fix this?

I have a script called "viewMacros" where i initialize de macros used for the views:

willow blade
#

is this object in the room, if so, which room

if it's not Room2, is it persistent?

make sure the code is definitely running with some debug messages

#

also ngl

having 3 views is kinda weird for this, idk what you're tryna do but this feels very...overengineered

In this video, the room (1) editor views are the default, yet the game takes them in consideration.

#

In this video, the room (2) editor views are set as the intended. It makes me feel as if the game doesn't take the values I set on the code.

It's gotta be some black box typa thing of gamemaker
