dude, i can move the camera fine with camera_set_view_pos function, everything is done, its just for some reason it doesnt work with these metrics functions.
the way views and stuff are now in gm2, the only non problematic way i see for doing cameras right is creating them. and that is what shaun is doing, thats why i watch what he does. pope`s tutorial is messy, he uses the inbuilt one, not to mention he sets the camera size every frame in end step event. its super messy and problematic in the long run. if you dont see a problem with setting camera size every frame, what can i say... shaun`s video is older but its better. its just bizzare why it doesnt work for me.
