Help Mount Camera to object.

Hello, I have been working on a game, but the biggest problem is I have not been able to mount the camera to the player, so I can oly see the very beginning, I would apriceate it if someone could help me with that.
I know the script is 'mount(%object, %offsetX, %offsetY, %mountForce, %sendToMount)'
but can someone give me an example on using it.

First, I already found on another thread that it is possible to set up a View Limit for the camera that, once reached, keeps the camera from following the player, but still allows the player to continue moving. A lot of 2D console-RPGs do this (or, for example, Zelda: Link to the Past). This little piece of code is great, but I would like to know if it's possible to add slack to the camera's tracking so it seems as if the player is "leading" the camera. I think that most games of the above nature employ a technique like this. Come to think of it, I think that most non-first-person games tend to do something like this.
Thanks for any direction you may offer!

Wow, such a simple piece of code can do what I couldn't with much more complex code. I have a simple question to follow up this one. Before I ask the question, however, let me point out that I don't have TDN access yet.First, I already found on another thread that it is possible to set up a View Limit for the camera that, once reached, keeps the camera from following the player, but still allows the player to continue moving.

function Player::onLevelLoaded( %this, %scenegraph ) { SceneWindow2D.mount( %this ); }Edit: I accidentally wrote t2dSceneWindow instead of SceneWindow2D. Now it should work. Sorry about the confusion.
