Hello,

Im quite new at this but i wanted to create a game that should be intended to play on phones and i wanted it to be in portrait and not landscape.

I managed to get the touch controls working and decided that i wanted the part where the touch controls are "divided" from the game, so that the player doesn't walk around "under" the touch pictures.

i just made it quite simple and made a black image , and then added like 7 tiles extra on each map were the player isn't able to move,

However this is not the most optimal solution and i have this issue that the player doesn't want to stay in center of the "game screen" since the game continues behind the black picture.

Im not sure if there is any plugin for it, i have tried for several hours to get it to work.

Thanks in advance
