Lock camera bounds per player

[SAUS]

Is there a way to / how do you lock a player's camera? It would need to be separate per player (each potentially locked in a different place, some locked, some not).

Use GetLocalPlayer() and SetCameraBounds(...)

native SetCameraBounds              takes real x1, real y1, real x2, real y2, real x3, real y3, real x4, real y4 returns nothing

//... example
if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
     call SetCameraBounds(bottomLeftX, bottomLeftY, topRightX, topRightY, topLeftX, topLeftY, bottomRightX, bottomRightY)
endif

I'm not sure if that is the correct ordering for SetCameraBounds. You can check the war3map.j to see how Blizzard does it (check the main function). The order might not matter (untested) since it might just be definitions passed into some rect class that accepts an arbitrary order.

So I have to reset it to the whole map after I don't want to lock the camera any more? Is there somewhere I can find the coordinates I need for my map?

Type this in a JASS trigger or in a custom script:

sdfjkldsf

It'll give you a syntax error. Scroll down to the "main" function. There should be a call to SetCameraBounds(). Just copy that and use it to reset to the map's default camera bounds.

Press "OK" and then remove the script above.
