Camera: Staying on the spot, disabling scrolling

My RPG requires the camera to be at a set spot. I tried "Apply (Current Camera) for Player 1 over 0.00 seconds" every 0.10 seconds, but I can STILL scroll if I tried. I don't want that, because the arrow keys are for moving, and it just makes it scroll :(

I don't know if this works but I think it does. Make a region that you can't camera movement to be confined to and use the action "Camera - Set Current Bounds"

It's definatly possible to do it some way, they do it in Uther Party, I'm just not exactly positive how it's done but it seems like that action SHOULD do it.

Actually, the "Set Current Bounds" only work if the camera is facing north, which is not even close to what camera angles my RPG has.

It's simple. I apply Camera 1, and I want it to stay on the ****ing spot.

Oh another idea popped into my head. Create an invisible unit at the cameras target, and lock the camera to that unit. It's still possible to release the locking by pressing CTRL+C, so make it lock it constantly and using arrow keys won't be a problem unless the player is weird enough to continue pressing CTRL+C while trying to play...

Good idea... I might try to even upgrade your idea so it is "compatible" with my RPG. Thanks!
