Game camera help!

Im working on a game, and i cant get the camera to fallow the player correctly on the way back
when i move to the left or up it doesnt fallow the player until the player is on the coordinate

Spoiler

os.loadAPI('grid')
local drawoffx = 0
local drawoffy = 0

local function bcolor©

end

term.current().setVisible(false)
biggrid:loop(cdraw,drawoffx,drawoffy,w+drawoffx,h+drawoffy)
pmap:loop(drawpmap,x,y)
term.current().setVisible(true)
end

biggrid:loop(cdraw,0,0,w,h)

while true do

What exactly is it doing wrong?

Also, I uploaded it to pastebin for anyone who wants to look at the code.

indent your code so that it's easier to read

thats the computer-craft forums fault, my code is usually extremely neat and organized.

Then pastebin it, please.

Could you post the used APIs so we can try out what's wrong?

posted.

Ok what exactly do you want to do if you wait until a certain x/y and then start scrolling the camera the player will think he isn't moving anymore.
