I want to be able to create an object, and have the camera not move past that object. This would help alot.

You move the camera using ScrollTo, either as a behaviour on an object or using the system actions ScrollToX,ScrollToY.

You need to tell the camera to stop scrolling at the appropriate position when your blocking object is on screen. For example:

Every tick

Blocker is not on screen - Scroll to whatever.X

Blocker is on screen

& distance(whatever.x, whatever.y, blocker.x,blocker.y)>500 - Scroll to whatever.X, whatever.y

Here's an extremely basic example.

It works in your project I downloaded, But For me all this does is reset the layout/respawn the character.

Have you got the assets correctly named in your project and have disabled any other scrolling events and behaviors?

It's difficult to help you when you are just saying that it doesn't work. If you want someone to have a look at your project you can share a link to it.

I checked for other instances of the "Scroll To" behavior and found an object that did have the behaviour. This turned out to be the problem, Thanks for your help. I'm new to Construct 3 and all the forums, I'll be sure to take note of that.
