Having some simple problems with camera mode - can anyone help??

Lokitoes

Hi there,

I am a bit of a GameSalad beginner. I've seen a few tutorials that suggest you can simply click and drag the camera around the screen when in camera mode. I have an actor set up with the control camera rule set. Mine looks as though it should work - the area between the camera border and the sensor border turns yellow in camera mode, and my cursor becomes a grabbing hand, however I haven't once been able to get it to move the position of the camera, it won't move! I can only change the camera position in my scene by going to scene attributes and typing it in the numbers manually, which is a bit clunky. I have my game set to iphone with resolution independence.

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong? I am running GameSalad 10.4.1 beta on Mac osx 10.7.5.

Please note I am here talking about moving the camera around the scene, not moving the sensor point around within the camera (though that seems to be clunky for me as well and stuck on a fixed ratio).

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Darren,

That is cool, thanks, though not quite the same as the camera following an actor around..?

@Alintakk Try putting the control camera behavior inside of the moving actor.
