Side Scroller Controls Devices

The Side-Scroller Controls device clamps the player's facing direction to the left-right axis so that no matter how they move, they are always facing left or right. Used with the Fixed Point or Fixed Angle Camera devices, this gives you a toolbox to create all kinds of 2D retro-style games, such as side-scrolling platformers or beat 'em ups.

If you're using multiple copies of a device on an island, it can be useful to rename them. Choosing names that relate to a device's purpose makes it easier to remember what each one does, and easier to find a specific device when using the Event Browser.
