   Yep, that's right.  It works fine using System- Scroll to X without MagiCam.  Would love to get it working with MagiCam though.

	I think I managed to achieve what you want using a simpler equation. Just use these for the MagiCam position: [code:1kihh9jn]Minimap.MapToLayoutX(MouseX("UI") - Minimap.X) Minimap.MapToLayoutX(MouseY("UI") - Minimap.Y)[/code:1kihh9jn] That worked fine for me. I couldn't figure out what was going on with the other equation, although I can take a few guesses. If I have time, I'll take a deeper look into it. I hope this helps.

	I had a feeling there'd be a simpler way to do it. Once I adjust it for the relative position of the minimap to the right hand screen edge, it should work great. Thanks very much, really appreciate it.

	That grid scrolling is neat, but I wonder, is there a way to setup a grid scroll between 2 layouts? I've been trying on my own but no luck.

	What exactly does "Moving" under "While motion in progress" mean? I assumed it was the obvious, but it doesn't seem to be working how I imagined...

	I was actually able to get (what on the surface appears to be) a grid scroll between two layouts... my trials and tribulations are all in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8967 The only problem is that the camera is a little jerky for some reason.

	Nice plugin. But just an observation, I've noticed that on my game, (That has pixel graphics, and the sampling is set to "point") there will be pixel offsets for those sprites and tiles, which make the game look weird at times, with the player shifting up and down pixels when the camera is smoothing in on him when standing still. Do you have plans to fix this? Its not too much of a big deal, but can look bad at times, depending on how my tilesets look. On smoother looking graphics, with sampling set to linear however, they look fine.

	Melodious, have you tried setting the position precision of the camera to "Integer"? If not, you can do that through the "Set position precision" action under "Misc." That setting is designed for games with pixel graphics. If you're already doing that, I'd like to see a simple CAP file demonstrating what you're talking about. This will help me fix it if need be. I hope that helps.
