Have the screen follow the player

[PAUM3000]

I saw a post on this last night, but now I can't find it to try the solutions offered. Anyway, I have no idea how to make the screen follow.

I remember something about player.x and player.y, but do I have to set up a structure for that? Is player a variable already?

Thanks. Also, it's very hard for me to figure out how to figure out the code I need to use without step by step instructions. I feel like I should know a lot of this from memory and it makes me want to give up. Any encouragement or direction would be helpful

@paum3000 I'm pretty sure this is covered in the tutorials (sprite's) but to give you a fast tracked answer it's all to do with the
Setspritecamera()

setspritecamera(player.x,player.y,1 )
As long as that's in your main loop it will constantly update and follow the player.

Loop
Clear()
Setspritecamera(player.x,player.y,1)

Update()
Repeat

Strongly urge you to read through the sprite commands they can be a bit tricky to find in the help section.
But of course it's always good to ask we are all happy to help.

That worked thank you! One problem I was having is that I didn't set the sprite to "player" but instead "elf".
