Hi!  
I’m working on cRPG, i’ve seen all those tutorials (by TONYPA, OOS etc.) but I still can’t combine those two things - controlling player using mouse and scrolling. So, after many failures, I’ve decided to make scoll in other way - just like in good old Zelda - (I mean, when the player comes to the edge of visible area, everything is scrolling in opposite direction… what am I saying - everybody knows that :)). Does anyone of you tried to make it in that way and has an example? I’ll be very thankful 'cause i can’t solve it for very long time [size=1](yap, I’m newbie, but I’m lerning fast 😉 )[/size].
