Noob and I need help with some things.

Hey guys I don't know but how do I make the camera follow the unit in the screen so that the camera will follow Rexxar and stuff like that. Please post reply. :ugly:

[LordHunter]

You should use this i think

Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to (Triggering unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation


But imo it looks pretty ugly, it's better to try to make a camera have the same speed as the moving unit so it follow it.

[jojoman55]

How do I make camera's move? Is it that strange doodad that you can place or it is a special trigger unit?

[LordHunter]

No lol not the doodad in cinematic

it's all in the triggers

Camera - Apply Camera 035 <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds
Camera - Apply Camera 036 <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 6.00 seconds
Wait 6.00 seconds

Ok so whats the trigger/section that makes it happen?
Would it be Map Inizalition or watever it called?

[LordHunter]

Yeah map initialization works fine. But if you want to play sound during your cinematic, then change the event to:' time elapsed is 0 sec' otherwise it won't play.

[jojoman55]

Ok so far I think that is working but how do i make it so it goes to campaign menu when it's done like it does for just a prologue for a campaign? (Oh sweet cinematic by the way)

[LordHunter]

Hey thx glad you liked it :)

If you want your cinematic to be a prologue for a campaign, then you have to make a campaign.
It's slightly more complicted (for some reason it never worked for me )
The short story is: follow campaign tutorials, and make a campaign with the campaign editor (it's one of the options in the WE F12 i think) and it will make a w3m file that you save under custom campaigns.
But follow a tutorial it will help tou a lot more ^^

[jojoman55]

Ok I found the campaign editor but first I need to make the maps. I'm making the prologue first so the othere levels can follow up to that.
Oh BTW the only trigger I need help with next is so that after the cinema it fades and quites the prologue and continues campaign. :grin:

[PurgeandFire]

You can just fade it using:
Cinematic - Fade using black mask over 2.00 seconds ...

Sorry for the sloppy freehandness, this is why I prefer jass. =P

I don't have WE open right now.
