A little nooby question

[Trillium]

How do i bind game camera to a unit so it follows him and always faces the same directiobn as unit? (generally same type of view like in WoW or any other mmorpg)

Are you asking for a camera system? Cuz there's this:

yeah, i think it is what i need... damn, now i gotta learn JASS...

Doesnt only this trigger work for that?

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

i tried this before, but it looks like in diablo - the view is still isometric

u need to set something like camera Z, distance between object, camera angle, just look 4 your self at trigger that relate on camera.

 

[Trillium]

ok, will try that

If im right you want it to stay locked on the unit, and the camera to turn when the unit does? If so, heres the GUI

• Camera
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to Peasant 0000 <gen>, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to (Facing of Peasant 0000 <gen>) over 0.00 seconds

The second action makes it so it sets the cameras rotation to whatever way the unit is facing.

but camer will still hand above the unit. i need hte camera to follow the unit, literally. the camera must always face the unit's back. i mean, the unit's back must always be in the center of the screen =)

It does follow the unit. Thats what the first action is for, it locks on the target

 

[Trillium]

it locks the camera in Diablo manner. i need WoW manner, if thats more clear

EDIT: think i can try and copy the code from blizz's own race map... camera is locked on the car in the manner i need as i remember

did you found it? here the trigger

• Camera - Set Camera Field(Timed)

there you can set what i told you before.
