Enter map-specific custom script code below. This text will be included in the map script after variables are declared and before any trigger code.
Name Type is_array initial_value
CameraRestore timer No
FP_Camera unit Yes
I_AM_A_REGION location Yes
TurnyTimer timer Yes 
If you want to use this in your map, please give credits to Modo from The Hive Workshop. You can modify 
it to suit your needs but I would still like credits.

This is a First Person Perspective System. It is designed with my map, Defenguin the Penguin, in mind. It is
quite simple to implement and quite effective.

Currently at Version 1:
-Able to turn left and right pressing the left and right keys.
-Need to use the mouse to move.
-Need to enter region for system to activate. If you want it to trigger some other way, simply change the triggers.
-Currenly set to heroes only, again, easily modified.
Copy the folder labelled "System" and modify the integers to suit your needs. You should have "create unknown
variables on copy", or whatever it is called, seleced in the World Editor 
preferences (main page (as in main editor page) -> file -> preferences)
Initiate Camera
Events
Unit - A unit enters Enter_Here <gen>
Conditions
((Entering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
Actions
Set Variable Set FP_Camera[(Player number of (Owner of (Entering unit)))] = (Entering unit)
Countdown Timer - Start CameraRestore as a Repeating timer that will expire in 1.00 seconds
This assumes 12 players are playing. You can use variables instead of integers.
Changing the Angel of Attack will change the angle at which you face. It takes trial and error to get the
perfect angle. I use this angle as it lets me see short enemies near me. I could just lower the
height offset, but then i get a face full of, well, face. I dont want to see the unit so I set the height
above the unit.

Camera - Lock camera target for (Owner of FP_Camera[(Integer A)]) to FP_Camera[(Integer A)] , offset by ( 0 , 0 ) using The unit's rotation
Else - Actions
I have not found a way to make this multi-instanceable, so you will need to make a series of triggers
for each player. I will look into this.

I don't think this system cleans up its leaks, and may be quite slow.
Unit - Move FP_Camera[1] instantly to I_AM_A_REGION[1], facing ((Facing of FP_Camera[1]) + 1.00) degrees

To increase the speed of turning, change the value of the "1.00" to something higher.
This works the same in the right turn.
