    Freb,

    I'm no expert having only recently come across TGB and having only registered within the last five minutes. However I think you might want to revisit the line which reads:

    %force,1

    maybe it should read...

    %mountForce,1

    Im a newbie, so I will just comment on another way to mount camera to your fish:

    Open game.cs, look for the following function, and add the line in bold 
    function startGame(%level)
{
// ... code ...

[b]// put this at end of startGame()
sceneWindow2D.mount($FishPlayer);[/b]
}

    Good luck, John.

    I know this is slightly of subject but I'd highly recommend the tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/TGB/MiniPlatformerTutorial, this has a whole section on getting the camera to follow the player around, plus loads of other useful help.

    Hope this helps,

    Simon
