How to Stay inside a background object with different devices
-
The project is designed for iPad in portrait (4:3), and I want it to work on taller iPhones (like 19:9) without ever seeing outside my background.
On iPad, I don’t need any Screen Follow because everything already fits nicely in the screen.
On iPhone, since the device is taller and shows less content horizontally, I want the view to follow the player (Screen Follow), but it must stay clamped inside my big background object.
Basically, I need a system where the screen only moves on iPhone, and never beyond the edges of my background.
The final goal is that, on any device, the player should never see anything outside the original iPad background area.So I use a get screen and a if to switch from iPad to iPhone that part is okay.
But after that, I don’t know how to do… -

I would like to be able to stay in the iPad format for if you will.
The follow screen doesn’t work.
There should be a function that I’m not aware of.Stay in object or stay in background.

I would need something like conform to screen. But not the current screen. Confirm to iPad screen when I am on iPhone. Something like that.

It’s not about filling the screen. I’d like my iPhone view to move inside the larger image shown on the iPad.
The iPad would act as the main canvas. On the iPhone, the visible area should be able to move left and right so I can see the whole image. Since the iPhone screen is too narrow, I can’t see the sides, but I still want the app to be usable on iPhone as well.
I don’t want to cram all the important elements into the middle just to fit the iPhone. Instead, when I move my character, I want the iPhone “camera” to move too, all the way until it reaches the edges of what the iPad can see.. -
Have you ever done something like this?

No I never had the need to do anything like this, but if I'm understanding this correctly, you want the image to clamp to the screen's boundaries when the image is larger than the screen.
There's no built-in way to do this.
The easiest thing I can think of is moving the image to the player every frame (Frame Event --> Move to Object) and then using the Clamp Value behavior. You can clamp the x and y position of the image as it moves and restrict it to a rectangular area. You would have to account for the dimensions of the image and the screen.
