I would just set up a proper camera object so you can have more control over the viewport. The room settings for views can be a pain.

I've seen others use code in cameras, but i had thought that maybe this was a simpler way. I'll try this soon

This is the simpler way, as you basically do it once and forget about it. Make it and drag the camera object into the room and it just works lol.

the "horizontal border" I believe is how far off-center you need to move before the camera moves

so that's probably why it's not working

definitely recommend custom camera object though

then what can i do to achieve the same result in the picture?

this didn't really work as intended
