Vertical Shooter: Starting the Camera at the bottom?

[joeybob]

Hello, I just got started with MMF2 today, and went through some tutorials. I'm trying to work on a vertical shooter, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to start the camera position at the bottom of the frame. Any suggestions?

I want to have it start at the bottom of the frame, then I will make the camera/screen scroll upwards through a level I have created. The only problem is the default start of the camera is at the top of the frame, and I can't figure out how to have it start at the bottom.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Heya, you can just do Start of Frame: Scrollings - centre vertically (Frame Height). Then always: Centre vertically at (Frame Height - [half of your set window height] - 1)

EDIT: I got it working now, I had to input "Y Bottom Frame-241" into the Center Vertically, on the Always event.

Now I'm trying to figure out the best way to edit the boundaries of the player. I'm wondering why they make it so easy for the mouse movement and not the 8 way movement with the keyboard.
