How do i make the camera follow the player?

it already should?

The camera only moves when the player walks of the edge of the map. I would like it to follow the player in a 10x10 room for example.

Oh I see... well the camera will only move when you have a map large enough. a 10x10 room isn't really going to have enough space for camera movement cause it's smaller than what's being shown. Like when you have a larger map lets say 35x35 the camera will follow the character until of course they hit the edge of the map, if your map size is small, there is simply going to be no movement. Unless some one creates a Plugin that zooms in closer i think you may be screwed on such a small scale movement.

Yeah. Zoom in closer is exactly what i would want without changing the window size.

I think if you just make your map larger (even if the area outside that 10x10 is unwalkable or even invisible), the camera will pan around with the player.

Yeah you may get some small movement.. i usually make the map a little bigger even for a small room.. i just think rooms look better on a black background, lol but even so in these small rooms i get very little camera movement.. but for me that's not an issue... Id rather have good camera movement in battle system. Like in my game when ur characters attack monsters the camera zooms in and follows them, it kinda bring battles to life.

Any map that is smaller than screen size will cause the engine to have problems - you probably never even tried to create a 10x10 map in the editor, because that should be blocked..


Make the map big enough that the small room has a large enough black barrier around it on the map (half screen beyond the intended limit) and it will happen automatically
