How to make actor stay center on screen?

BobD

I am working on a space game and I want the spaceship to remain in the center as it travels through space. Is there a way to do this? The actor will be able to travel in 360 and everything will just scroll past as it moves thru space.

All you have to do is keep your ship at the same X position at all times and have rules in the objects that will fly past it telling it to move at a certain direction. Hope that helps.

or unlock the ship after dragging it into the scene. Then you can constrain the camera.origin to the ship like this:

constrain currentscene.camera.origin.X to self.positionX+240
constrain currentscene.camera.origin.y to self.positionX+160

Thank you I will give it a try

Or, insstead of using two constrain attributes, use the camera behavior. You can change the camera settings in the scene > attributes pane.

Or since it sounds like you are using a scene that is larger than the iphone screen.

So what you should do is drop a control camera behavior in the actor and then reduce the tracking area down to 0x0

Thank you it works great!!
