Control Camera Query

MonteGargano

Ok, so i'm trying to make an 'endless runner' style game. I have used the behaviour 'control camera' to ensure the camera follows the player when they would otherwise leave the scene. However, even after changing the bounding box of the control camera, the player is too close to the right hand side of the scene when the camera begins to follow him. Basically, i need the camera to start following the player when they are at the left hand side of the screen, allowing the player to see more before having to react to any obstacles. Any help?
Thanks

For an endless runner I wouldn't move the player right or left and use control camera. I'd keep the player in position on screen and move the platforms/floors toward the player. Like I do in this tutorial.

Also if you search 'endless runner' here in the forums you'll see this has been discussed very often, you'll find lots of advice.
