I know this is probably in the wrong section :S But i was wondering if there was a tutorial for a scrolling screen. Like so when you walk to the left or right it starts to move with your character, so you can like, run down a street. This is a side view shoot em up game for zombies :D

My school group is doing it and we were wondering were the tutorial was. If there is one. Thanks

    Look at the alien blaster template that is included with gs. I'm note sure what it's called, but it's a spaceship moving to the right and the camera follows it.

    You really just need to put the control camera behavior on your main actor and then he will always be in the screen

    Also, this is a great source for tutorial videos from GS/TShirtBooth.

    Also you can look here for the camera control video that I think would help:



    Also if you click my name I have two parallax demos you can download and poke around in. I believe you have a couple of choices with game design and moving actors. IE: Either the actor moves off scene and teh camera follows or the actor stays still and the background and other actors move towards it in which case there is just one scene .. so in your case you would have the background move left or right. Also if you search 'thirds' in the GS creator (New+) part you will find Orbz's excellent template for free download which shows a moving actor and moving background.
