I'm trying to make my first real map. I'd like to have a 3rd person setup going. I know about the "lock camera target to unit" trigger, but it's zoomed out farther then I'd like it to be. When I use the "lock camer orintation to unit" trigger, the camera is stuck on the ground.

Can anyone help?

EDIT: I now realize I have an additional issue. Unit movement. Can key movement only be done through JASS?

In the third action, how did you get to "(Facing of(Camera_Unit))?"

Furthermore, is "camera_unit" a custom camera?
