Review for 3:rd Person Camera System

Player Groups are not the way to go with this. A boolean array would be the best (and fastest). Also a 0.01 timer period is too small of an interval. Use 0.03 or above. The only reason I would even consider approving this is because it allows arrow key control which sets it apart from the other systems.

it's pretty good never seen a camera like that

 

[The_Witcher]

well it seems that you and Koeky are friends or Koeky is a big noob...

the GUI triggering is EXTREMELY bad:
its inefficient:
could be done in 7 instead of 14 variables (in GUI)
could be done in 10 instead of 14 triggers (in GUI)
it works only for player 1 - 6

in addition we have many better cam systems here...
i suggest reading some tutorials and simply experimenting...

but for this 1/5

 

[Diehard@Azeroth]

go easy on him, hes just not that good, its ok.

good job man, just make sure to read more tutorials, especially about variable arrays

 

[LordLyra]

Koeky is not my friend and 1/5 for that I hade some more triggers and variables than you wanted, and it works for all 12 players...
Unitgroups with arrays bugs so i used 4 diffrent groups instead of one with array, yes.
I updated it, so now its a few less variable but the same amout of triggers

lol :/

 

[YourNameHere]

Why should unitgroup arrays bug?

 

[LordLyra]

It aways bugs for me, I have made it in 4 maps (one of them with JASS) and no one worked...

I will try making "PickeveryPlayer and do Action" and make a condition that "Boolean=True", something like that to make less variables.

If I make the "PickeveryPlayer and do Action" and make a condition that "Boolean=True" It will be the same amout of variables so I dont.

 

[baassee]

unit group variables dont bug nor leak with or w/o arrays

This spell rating was done by Midnighters.

Creativity Rating:5/5
Usefulness Rating: 5/5

Leakless? : Yes

I have never seen someone actually submit a camera system they have made, and this could help many people with many maps.

If I may, I recommend maybe also adding a way for them to lower and raise the camera towards the ground, and by that I mean to where they can do an aerial view or a directly behind the unit view.

Thank you for reading this,
Midnighters

 

[pippo]

How to put in images into the description?

 

[dansaDisco]

Just upload the image and add the link.

 

[VampireofBlood]

works good, but sometimes it laggs abit :/

 

[LordLyra]

Just upload the image and add the link.

add the link where, is this right?

 

[Deuterium]

At the top right of the spell there's "Update"... click that, then the new page has a part saying "Picture" or "Scree-shot" (can't remember, but something related). Put the link to where your pic. is in the hardrive there.

No offense, but how hard can using the internet get!? :s

 

[dansaDisco]

No, you have to upload the file to some sharing website, I reccomend
Tinypic.com

 

[Deuterium]

Not really...

 

[dansaDisco]

uh, no. Sorry I wasn't responding to your post.

He was asking how to add images to his description.

 

[Deuterium]

Oh haha! =) yeah or he can attach it to the post...

 

[LordLyra]

If you doubble clicks the up/down bottoms it in one seconds spacetime or less and holding it in it will zoom, test it and say whate you think.
And It will change angle if you clicks normaly

 

[indestructible]

[indestructible]

i am now building on big map with your camera thing it is great this long.

it's called <<pop world>> get your popcorn and begin to play XD lol.

 

[LordLyra]

Go into the Trigger Editor, then you create the trigger (Crtl+T), then you put any Event(s) (Crtl+E) you want, after that you put any Condition(s) (Crtl+D) if you want, and finaly you create a Action (Crtl+R) and goes into the Action Type "Specialeffect" there you have "Create Special Effect" "At Point" or "On Unit". Choose "On Unit" and there is some text "Create a special effect attached to the overhead of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl", done change overhead or the effect Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl, it is the >!< you wanted so do not change it either. Do only change (Triggering unit) to the unit you want to get the effect on.

 

[indestructible]

ok thanks, now i just need to now how to destroy the effect when a unit enters a region.
I HAVE TRIED!

 

[LordLyra]

You have to set a vamiable on the specialeffect when it is created, and then destroy the effect (variable) when entres

I was making an rpg just like that where my friend made models and you where a villager from the beggining but pick up items and then used it på wear and it apeard the item on your villager. But we layed it down, but it is still in my registers.
