Help with tracking actor

Alano

Hey all, I messed up something in my game and need help. I can't get the camera to track my actor.

• I have a scene that is 1,000 wide.
• My actor has Camera Control in it.
• When I click on the camera icon I see the yellow window with the clear inner tracking window. Size is less than 1,000.
• When I move my actor in preview it only moves as wide as the inner tracking window's parameter. It is not tracking the actor.
• How can I get the actor to move to the full 1,000 wide AND have the camera track it?

Thanks!

Make sure:

1. There are no other actors controlling the camera

2. You haven't accidentally unlocked the actor you believe is controlling the camera thereby creating an instance with rules different from the prototype.

3. The control camera behavior is not inside of a rule or timer.

4. Try a brand new scene and add that actor and a couple background images and see if it works on a new scene.

Report back and we'll take it from there.

Thanks tatting!

So, I created a new blank scene and it works like a champ! It even helped with another issue I had earlier:

• I have spawning bombs dropping from the top and it would move along in the same direction as the actor moved across the scene. Now they fall straight down like they should and not affected by the moving actor.

So, now I assume I just need to add back in some of the other trigger actors one by one until i get my scene back together right?
Thanks for your help!
