Summary

Author: LuciusAxelrod Description: This plugin allows you to set the bounds of the camera scroll to something other than the edges of the map. This allows you to limit the player's view temporarily. You can use this to create effects such as single screen areas that scroll when the player would leave the screen (think Zelda 1) or expand the size of the map after the removal of a barrier (like hiding the room on the other side of a wall until a door is opened).
