Camera Tracking

When using Camera Control, how can I lock the Camera to stay far in front of the Character? I tried setting the Tracking Size to 0,0, but that only moves the camera when the character reaches the center of the screen, while I want the camera to move earlier, and keep the character at the far left, so that players have more time to react. I tried creating a new actor, that has a position locked ahead of the charcter's position, and made the camera follow that actor, but when I did, the Character appears to shake/vibrate.

Is there any other way to do this?
Thanks!

    I use the method of a second actor which is constrained at an offset from the Character, and haven't had a problem with shakes/vibration. Can you post a screenshot of how your rules are set up?

    I created a variable called (CharacterX) then did (Timer Every 0 Seconds Change Attribute Self.Position.X to CharacterX + 50, in the second actor.)

    I'll try constrain next
    Thanks!

    If you compare an Every 0 seconds Timer that increases an attribute by one to a Constrain Attribute behavior that constrains the attribute by itself plus one, you'll see that the Constrain happens twice as fast as the Timer.
