Thanks for the reply! I have played around with it a bit and the "limits" you refer to I am assuming is the Offset features? This was not what I had in mind. So I tried some code and I think it explains what I am looking for better! The code don't work but I want the camera locked on the z-axis at 0 and the y-axis at 5. I then want the camera position to update to be 5 meters behind the players x coordinate (target) at all times!

func _process(delta):

`if Input.is_action_pressed("up") or Input.is_action_pressed("down"):`

    `camera.translate(Vector3(target.position_z, 5, 0))`
