Hello @coronasdk96,

Many Corona developers use the 3rd-party “Perspective” library to build camera-like functionality. Most likely you could adjust that code to make the camera follow only on the Y axis:

Take care,

Level Director also supports camera tracking and based on a user request I modified it to allow you to control tracking in either x or y direction.

If you take a look at the scrolling platform demo and edit the main.lua file you’ll see a line that enables tracking;

myLevel:setCameraFocus(player)

There are two optional parameters to this function, trackX and trackY, so to track the player only on the Y axis you would use this;

myLevel:setCameraFocus(player, false, true) -- only track on Y axis

This might be of some help to you.
