Moving Camera Origin

Hey guys, I need a bit of help. I'm wanting to use the Move To behavior to move the camera origin to different points so I can get that slide effect. How would I go about doing so, because I cant seem to figure it out if it really is possible. Thanks!

    Unlock the actor in the scene and you'll have access to the scene attributes which include the camera origin x/y.

    @tatiang Im wanting to actually use MOVE TO on the camera origin itself, not an actor. Unless I'm just not understanding what you're saying

    Nevermind, figured it out! Silly me, that was simple :D

    Glad you got it working. The Move To command can go on any actor on the scene as long as it's been unlocked.

    tylerglessner how did you figure it out? I would also like my camera origin move left and right in a scrolling fashion like a "move to" function from the screens center location to specific origin X axis points, left and right of center. Then from the left or right X axis origin location click on an actor on either side to move the camera back to center. I have tried several techniques, and cannot get it to work smoothly.

    Like @tatiang says, to access the camera's origin you must first place an actor into the scene and then unlock it.

    Then you can simply interpolate the camera's origin.

    Demo attached, click on the screen to scroll.
