I want to add camera borders for my game but I don't know how to do or is it possible to do. I think I can make it work using 'if's and checking camera position but it would be too long

Oh, do you mean like a 'recording screen' where the camera has the red recording dot and battery percentage?

Sometimes it may take a few hours for a person who knows about the subject and can comprehend your question to give you a good answer, when you repost the question it won't necessarily be answered faster but it will push other questions down which is why the site gives you that warning.

you have accidentally posted the question twice, so maybe delete (or hide) the old one, and that's why it was giving you a 'duplicate error'

as for the 'camera border', you can put an image in the 2d screen (as a sprite or something), and it will be displayed on top of the 3d scene.

globalposition.x = clamp(globalposition.x, MINX, MAXX)
globalposition.y = clamp(globalposition.y, MINY, MAXY)

you could add mathemathical "clamp" for the camera the camera position or you could add an collider to the camera/or the player and make a wall arround the level.
