 Suggestion: Each side in a view gets a border when following

I have a suggestion, which may have been made before, and if so I apologize.

Right now you seem to only be able to set an x and y border when following an object in a view. I would suggest being able to set top, bottom, left and right borders. I have a game where the HUD is off to the left and therefore I would like to offset the view so the object being followed is in the centre of the gameplay area.

For now I've fixed it by resetting the view_xport[0] to offset it a bit.

The follow option in the room editor is designed to help beginners get follow objects easily, but if you require anything more complex you need to use code. Look at the camera_set_view_pos() function... ;)

Create 2 separate views, one for the panel and one for the game, then the game "follow" will work as expected.
