Alright so, my question to you, is there a way to make the center of the screen any different? Like see the two pictures below.

Is there a way to make it so there there's 4 Blocks to my Left and 5 on my Right for the View thing?

Kinda hard to explain, sorry for that =\

If you just want to make it so you don't see the black edge look up client.edge_limit. If you want to shift the eye over to the right one, then you need: client.eye

That black isn't the edge, it's a null place. It's how it looks in the Pokemon game so, I'm leaving it as is.

Anyway, Ill look into client.eye, thanks. :)

It's not really client.eye you should look at, it is client.perspective....

<font size=1>client.perspective |= EDGE_PERSPECTIVE</font>

But he doesn't care if the edges are shown, he just wants to shift the eye over one to the right.

Alright well, I tried client.eye, I'm not too sure if I did it right though, simply because I get an error. I read the Help File, it said to try something like this -

client
    eye = locate(5,5,1)


So I tried that, only for a test to see how it would look with (5,5,1) but it give's me an error :

Pokemon Crystal.dm:3:error::expected a constant expression


:\ Huh.

You have to define it at runtime or in a proc. And well you do also need to set the perspective to EYE_PERSPECTIVE
Ex: 
client
    New()
        eye = locate(3,3,2)
        perspective = EYE_PERSPECTIVE
        ..()

Oh, alright. Thanks.

And, for eye = locate(3,3,2);

what's the 3,3,2? x,y,z?

Kind of a stupid question, but that's what I'm thinking.

Yeah it is x,y,z. However, doing that way is just an example. With that you will have a locked camera. I suggest looking at Spuzzum's:

and

To show you how to have the camera move with the mob.
