Create a camera that is always set between 2 objects

Hi guys, so i was wondering... How could I create a camera that is always between two instances/players/objects? We can see something similar in new super mario bros series (more specifically in new super mario bros wii U), in which, I believe, the camera is set between the player closest to the right limits and the one closest to the left limits of the screen. I tried to do:

Every tick > Set Camera_Position(global var) to (expression)distance(Player2.X,Player2.Y,Player1.X,Player1.Y) - This would give me the distance between the X and Y of the 2 instances. Then I did:

Camera(object with scroll to behavior) set X > Camera_Position(global var)/2

But it didn't work. Anyway, I had no clue on how to solve this and how could I do the zoom out limit based on the distance between them. Do you guys have any thoughts about it?

Thanks.

The camera position is a simple average of the two object's positions, so the X position of your camera should be...

(player1.X + player2.X) / 2[/code:3jpn49ek]
Zoom would be something along the lines of...

[code:3jpn49ek]if player1.X < player2.X
    set layout scale to WindowWidth / (player2.BBoxRight - player1.BBoxLeft) 
else 
    set layout scale to WindowWidth / (player1.BBoxRight - player1.BBoxLeft)
[/code:3jpn49ek]
Note that extending the camera positioning to work both horizontally and vertically is straightforward, but doing so for zoom would involve dealing with some extra edge cases.

Oh, interesting solution. Thanks for sharing it. I will try it.
