How to work with advanced Camera movement?

ozboybrian

I have a large scene that consists of many scenes to reduce loading times.

How would I set it up so that my camera follows the main actor in my game has moves left and right but the camera doesn't go to far right or left to show the other scene, so it moves with him but hits a wall till he starts going back the other way.

Much appreciated for any good help

first thing first when u mention many scenes in one, are those linked together as one big scene or you have scene transition to change the camera tracking area?

Rule: all
if self.player.x < certain x coordinate
if self.player.y < certain y corodrinate

then 'control camera'

That way when the player moves past a certain boundary then it will stop controlling the camera.

Like one big scene with little scenes literally inside it.
Like some of DEEP BLUE IDEAS templates do that.

and thanks Stus Apps i'll give that a Crack.

I've restarted my file since and when I goto the new Scene it doesn't actually goto the new scene...
