i have a platformer game that moves only on the x axis.. i set the camera to follow the character and it works fine..
the problem is that i can only change the size of the cameras tracking area but i cannot change its location.. the problem is that the camera starts to follow the character only when it reaches the middle of the scene.. i want the camera to follow the character from the location it starts which is 0,0

thanks

    The camera has two settings, size and tracking area. Play with the size and location of the tracking area on the X axis to get the effect you are looking for.

    You can unlock your character in the scene and give it this behaviour:

    Constrain Scene.Origin.Camera.X to self.Position.X
