Setting the X of a camera

[dashival]

I want to have one camera per player, and then lock each player's camera to their heros' X position, so it follows the player's horizontal movement, but not vertical. Is it possible to move a camera that's preplaced? If not, how else can I make the player's screen follow their hero along the X axis, at a certain Y position?

Yes you can change the position of a pre-placed camera. Their only purpose is to store the data visually (x,y,z and such), then the game fetches that data and changes the "game camera" accordingly.

call SetCameraPosition(x,y)

I think I found a way to do it without having preplaced cameras in the editor.. Thanks, though.
