How do I adjust the Camera?

Hey everyone!

How do I adjust the camera. Specifically, what it focuses on and follows around the screen. I have a platformer game I am working on and I would like to pull the player back a bit so that the user has a wider view of the area he/she is running into.

Thank You,

Stephen

You are probably using the scrollto behaviour right now.

You could keep using that and create a camera-sprite, let's say at player.x+200 pin it to the player and scroll to that.

If you want total controll however using the system scrollto action and changing it values according to the situation is probably a better way.

There is also a third party plugin called magicam, which makes it easier to control the camera.

Beautiful, thank you! I had forgotten about the Scroll To behavior. Duh!
