Limit how far "down" the camera can go?

So what I need is for the ScrollTo plugin to act the same, but I want the camera to only go down so far. Let me explain.

Example (How it should be)

(How it ends up with the System's Scrolling feature)

I want the it to still scroll and follow the player, including when he jumps, or even if he was to fall down below to a lower platform. I just want the camera to be limited to how much "freespace" is shown below the player. Can this be done?

Get rid of the ScrollTo plugin, it's a shortcut for the system 'scroll to object' action. Just use that instead, e.g. if object Y < 1000 then scroll to the object. Then it will never scroll below 1000 pixels.

Ok, so I set it up like this;

System | Player.Y < 200 ----- ScrollTo Player

The problem is that now the system wont scroll when he moves. I'm trying to replicate a 'camera' from this http://www.scirra.com/forum/imfuckincold-wip_topic47701.html

Did you add the condition to a System Every Tick condition? It works for me like that, i.e.

System Every Tick        System Scroll To Player

Player.X <1000

I did as you said, but when he get's near the side, the camera jumps down.

put the file on the public folder and right click on it "dropbox > copy public link"

Thanks Yann, updated my post with the new link.

Bump. Update my post with example images, and more info.

Some fixed capx

Thank you very much Kyatric! This is exactly what I needed, works great!

Hey not sure if anybody has mentioned this, but another way to have more control over the "scroll to", is to have a separate object with the "scroll to" behaviour applied to it. Then use the "pin" behaviour to attach it to your player.

You can place it where ever you like around your player to get the desired effect and then just change its opacity to 0 and bobs your uncle.

Hope that helps or makes any sense.

Hi there!

I'm having the same problem like you described on the first post.

Could you tell me how you fixet it.

Because I can't open the project of Kyatric (need a pause plugin, don't know where to get/put)

I hope you can help me with this.

Edit: never mind, I've found out how it works by now <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I cannot open Kyatric's project because of the plugin. Would someone please tell me how the issue was resolved? Thank you.
