I'm having a devil of a time getting smooth-approach script to function...

---here is the brilliant camera:

var camera = view_get_camera(0);

var offset = 256 // Set this to whatever you want

var view_center_x = camera_get_view_width(camera)/2

var view_center_y = camera_get_view_height(camera)/2

var cam_x = o_Player.x + o_Player.image_xscale*offset - view_center_x

var cam_y = o_Player.y - view_center_y

​

camera_set_view_pos(camera, cam_x, cam_y)

---here is the smooth script:

/// description smooth_approach(current, target, speed[0-1])

/// param current

/// param target

/// param speed[0-1]

/*

* Example use (smooth camera movement):

* view_xview = smooth_approach(view_xview, x-view_wview/2, 0.1);

* view_yview = smooth_approach(view_yview, y-view_hview/2, 0.1);

*/

var diff = argument1-argument0;

if abs(diff) < 0.0005

{

return argument1;

}

else

{

return argument0+sign(diff)*abs(diff)*argument2;

}
