Advanced Camera, Keyboard & Movement System by The_Witcher

[Kirizaru]

Hello everyone.
After MANY problems with the Advanced Camera, Keyboard & Movement System
by The_Witcher system features here on the Hive, I've finally dedicated some time to explain this.

I will be explaining and showing you the following things.

• Multiplayer System

• How to set the camera and movement for a player

• How to remove the camera and keyboard for a player

Difficulty: 3/10

Multiplayer

First of all, you need to copy the variable "u". It is important, and as you can see in the test map of the system, it is used to specify the Captain.
Now, if you copy it 4 times, like u2, u3, u4, u5, you will be able to specify it for many players.

How to set the camera and movement

In this part we will apply the movement system for the players you want.

A few custom scripts are required.

This is what I made in an old map I was working on.

call SetCameraUnit(udg_u, Player(Number))

Numbers are the following.

0 = Red [1]
1 = Blue [2]
2 = Teal [3]
3 = Purple [4]
4 = Yellow [5]
5 = Orange [6]
6 = Green [7]
7 = Pink [8]
8 = Gray [9]
9 = Light Blue [10]
10 = Dark Green [11]
11 = Brown [12]

Same thing to set the keyboard system. You can just copy the script above or follow this template:

call SetCameraUnit(udg_u, Player(Number),6)

I must say the truth. I haven't still noticed what 6 is. But I'm really sure it's the animation index. In my map P) when you use arrows to move it plays Stand Ready, which is the 6th animation of the model I'm using.

How to remove the camera and movement for a player

This is from the SotDRP map I'm making.
As you can see, it doesn't need ReleaseMovementUnit, since The_Witcher felt like not worth it. The custom code:

call ReleaseCameraUnit(Player(0))

Will remove both SetCameraUnit and SetMovementUnit.


It's really easy, it just needed some time to figure out all the functions!

Happy mapping!

You don't need that many unit variables.

Set u = unit 1
Make u the camera unit for P1
Set u = unit 2
Make u the camera unit for P2

and so on.

For releasing the unit, use PlayerId and not if/then/else.

I'm noobish, that was just to make the simple simple simple way. I can use an array too.

its not simple... your way is more complicated than what Maker suggests...

 

[Kirizaru]

Oh no, what will we do now?! HOLY SHIT! But I heard u liek mudkipz?

Better doing long and easy things that even a noob could make (Like me ) than makin' it a lil bit more advanced where noobs would just say "Lolz wat he said is it smthin to eat???'?!1"

OMG RLY WILL THE WORLD IMPLODE

In addition, instead of many if/then/else in the Release camera trigger, you can do this...

• Custom script: call ReleaseCameraUnit(GetTriggerPlayer())

Both methods work, but the loop is a better coding practice. You should update it for that.

Since you have been inactive for a month I'll graveyard it for now, but just let me know if you come back and I'll take it out for you to update.
