How do I make the camera follow the player only vertically?

So i have this platform game, where the player jumps from one platform to another. What i want it is

the camera to follow him only vertically/up, when if falls the camera will remain in the same position and the player will fall outside of layout(doodle jump like). I tried a few things with scroll to behavior but i don't have to much control with that.

Maybe it's simple than it's looks but i spent hours trying things and doing research and i couldn't work it out.

you should to use the lerp() function instead the scroll behavior I guess, if for example you need to the camera follows onley the main player vartically, then you have to use something like that.

+System: Every tick
->System: Scroll to  lerp(ScrollY, Player.Y, dt)  (only for vertically)
[code]+System: Every tick
->System: Scroll to lerp(ScrollX, Player.X, dt), (only for horizontally)
[code]+System: Every tick
->System: Scroll to lerp(ScrollX, Player.X, dt), lerp(ScrollY, Player.Y, dt)(both)

So i tried your method and it works but only partially. The camera still follows the player even when it falls from a platform,

and i want to freeze the camera somehow and only the player to fall.

Also the camera has a slow delay, when the player jumps high the camera remains behind to the point where i can not see the player anymore. Pls see Doodle jump to know what i want to achieve.

Add player not falling condition to one of the lerp actions and it will work fine.

ok, so try this

when the player fall out you can freeze the scroll sprite

So i added not fallen condition, it works almost perfectly

camera follows the player when it jumps, but there is still an

issue. In the game there is a platform which throws the player really high and the camera remains behind so the player is outside the layout.

When the player falls down, the camera still follows a bit, but

that isn't much a problem since it gets outside of screen pretty quick.

I saw your example but i didn't manage to freeze the camera, is still following the player down even when it falls

use the on collison event create an invisible block and do if camera collides with the invisible box then freeze
