(You didn't mention which version you use, so I'm going to assume GM 6, since that is what I use.)

The first thing you'll want to do is enable the use of views. In the room editor, on the Views tab, is a checkbox with the label Enable the use of Views. Make sure that is checked.

Next, make sure view 0 is being used. If View 0 isn't bold, click on View 0, and then click on the Visible when room starts checkbox.

Lastly, in the Object following section at the bottom, select your player object in the little selection box. Try out the game, and then adjust the Hbor and Vbor values, probably making the numbers higher. Ploay around with it until it works as you want it.

(I use GML to make a view follow a player, so I'm not completely sure about the last part. Experimentation should solve the problem, though.)

In that case, there are 4 variables you'll need.

view_xview[view_num] : X position of left edge
view_yview[view_num] : Y position of top edge
view_wview[view_num] : Width of view
view_hview[view_num] : Height of view

In the player's Step or Draw event, you want to move the view to make it center on the player character. If you've taken algebra, the math shouldn't be too hard. But just in case, you'll want to do something like ...

view_xview[view_num] = player_x - floor(view_wview[view_num] / 2);
view_yview[view_num] = player_y - floor(view_hview[view_num] / 2);

No D&D is required. No GML is required. It's all right there in the GM GUI.



You need to turn on ((Enable Use of Views)) and ((Visible When Room Starts)). Then select the object to follow. Then adjust the hbor and vbor as necessary, like Nailog said before.
