Scrolling Camera script

[Linaru]

Hello all,

I am Trying to recreate a Scrolling camera Effect similar to legend of zelda. where the camera centres on a room in a map and when the player walks off the edge of the screen it scrolls off to the next room.
 
I have been using Lemony's script which seems to be the only script I can find that is similar:

However this script has a few problems that I can not seem to find a work around for.

Firstly rather than the camera being centred on the room it seems to be centred on the player when he enters a map. This means when I use a transfer player event the camera will be slightly off set from the room. 

The second issue is with the scroll loop map effect. when the player tries to walk off the edge (and come back from the opposite side of the map) the camera starts to scroll but then never stops.

My window displays 20x15 tiles, so i have been using maps that are multiples of this and building all my rooms within that size border.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out  by making a script that is better aligned to rooms.

Lemony (now source) has made a new camera script which you can find here.  I haven't compared the 2 scripts but from your description it sounds like the new one includes functions from the old but, presumably, in a better way.  You might find your problem is solved with this verions.

thanks very much... it took some tweaking and i will have to add tons of events to the map but so far this script seems to be creating the required effect.  I haven't yet tested it on my looping maps yet but i will play around with it and see.
