I have a large world (one where the screen has a scroll bar) and I am trying to make it where the camera follows the actor (or group of actors). Is there any way I can do that?
You're better off not having a world with scroll bars, since the scroll bars are only there when the display someone's using it too small to display your world. It's easier and better to use something like this:

which is a re-usable engine I made, which allows you to have a world you can walk around in.
