DrGlickert

Not really sure what you're trying to accomplish here. Why would you want the camera to follow two actors? Please explain more about what it is that you want your game to do.

If you want the camera to follow different actors at different times you will need to use a game attribute. If it is only two then use boolean. If it is more than two use an integer. So lets say you want the camera to follow the one you have clicked on.

create game attribute : CameraControl

Rule in actor 1: When touched is pressed
-----change game.CameraControl to 1

Rule in actor 1 : When game.CameraControl = 1
-----control camera

Rule in actor 2: When touched is pressed
-----change game.CameraControl to 0

Rule in actor 1 : When game.CameraControl = 0
-----control camera

what I want is to let the camera follow a ball and here fore there must be a button in the corner
do you understand it now??

dagsen

in the corner of the camera of course

What?

What are you trying to do ?

If you want the camera to follow a ball, what are the other actors you want to follow the camera?

Put the button on it's own unscrollable layer.

I intent to create a large scene where a ball can roll around and the camera will follow it - furthermore I need a button to stay in the button the camera.

My problem is that I cannot get the button to stay in the bottom of the camera, because it just remains on the scene and are not following the camera.

Does this make sense?

make a new layer and uncheck scrollable

Put the button in it's own layer and uncheck scrollable.
