oh hell yeah

I just realized there's another problem with this library. Moving left makes Mario die for some reason.

This actually was my intention. I wanted to mimic the autoscroll of Super Mario 3d World where the player also dies when he goes offscreen. Removing the kill player function out of the script will remove this feature.

Oh thats just from the example level. In my episode I use a custom camera logic and I had to deactivate it for this specific level. Just go into the luna.lua of the level and remove every line of code which contains "betterSMWCamera"

When disabling auto scrolling in a section using this function...

function onSectionChange(id, player)
if id == 1 then
betterAutoscroll.enabled = false
end
end

The camera doesn't move even though the section is horizontally large.


In this image, Mario should be in the center of the screen, but he's at the end which means the camera isn't moving like it should.
This is the correct section as using the autoscroll objects doesn't move the camera.
