Advanced Camera, Keyboard & Movement System

This is my Advanced Camera, Keyboard and Arrow Key Movement System requested by Nara-shikamaru and many other users.

The Camera System
The camera system is basicly a system that adjusts the camera distance, height and angle.
This prevents the camera from going through doodads or blocking your view when you walk away from them or even up a hill...
Well its MPI and easy to handle!
Read the beginning of the code to see the included functions!
The important values are changeable ingame AND NOW FOR EACH PLAYER SEPERATELY!!

But what makes this system advanced?
In contrast to many other camera systems this one isn't interrupted by items or units standing in your way. It adjusts the zAngle, too, but not like 'bamm' and the new angle is there!! It's smooth and lagg free!!!


The Keyboard System
nothing new but VERY useful as i think...
always when you want to create a effective arrow key movement system or a sniper system or anything else using the arrow keys you need to create 8 triggers: 4 for the key press event and 4 for the key release event.
this system just brings you these triggers, merged and optimized.
now you don't need 8 triggers you just need 1.
You have a function to check whether key xy is pressed.
in addition you have the power to register double press events to triggers.
they will fire when key xy is pressed twice within 0.5 seconds (adjustable).


The Arrow Key Movement System
nothing new, too, but useful, lagg free, MPI and it features custom plugins!
It has the basic functions of each arrow key system:
Up = move towards facing
Down = walk backwards
Left = turn left
Right = turn right
BUT my system doesn't collide with walls, it slides along them!
it is fully MPI so each player can control one unit, even if he doesn't own that unit!
And as i haven't seen this in any movement system before:
when a unit walks backwards it's animation is played reversed, too, so it doesn't look crappy :D Even flying units are supported!!

In addition everyone can expand this system by coding own plugins!!
For this test map I created the following ones:
Double Up press = dash foreward
Double Down Press = turn 180° around
Double Left or Right press = move in that direction without changing the facing angle...

check out the how to's in the test map to create your own plugins!


The test map uses all systems by giving you arrow key movement control over a soldier walking around in a small but lovely village.
To test the zAngle feature please walk outside the village where the hills begin :D

I was asked why i placed items there, because your unit can't pickup items...
Well other systems collide with items and count them as a wall!
My doesn't... it ignores them ;D

you need JNGP and some JASS knowledge to get this code working correctly


If you need a GUI tutorial for this system then read this one, made by Kirizaru

Camera and Keyboard System (Map)

Sorry i know this is a post from the grave.... but i was hoping to use this system in my map and the thing i noticed is that you do not have "Reverse" where the unit can walk straight backwards.....

an example:

player presses the down arrow key then make the unit move backwards and also apply inverted controls to it.

Heres a map that kind of has it but i am only wanting to select 1 unit and this map works for "every selected unit".

:D
you seem to have taken something wrong!
my system just brings a keyboard system for easier usage of the arrow keys!!
the movement system is just short coded and bad and only as an example for the test map!!! please don't the keyboard movement as a great scriptet and usable system!!!

UPDATE v.3.0: see changelog :D

Heeey witcher, me again, 1st question, how do I change the angle of attack in game and have it work for the system? (i.e. a player doesn't like the current AoA so they want to change it using in-game commands)

Second Question: Whenever the camera gets close to the unit it zooms in really close and makes it hard to see, can you make an option that changes the angle and attack (tilts it slightly more towards the sky) and the z offset (raises the view a bit) when the camera is within a certain range of your unit?
 
3/5
you cant select your hero... whats the points if you can select you hero? Cant cast spells , pickup items ect :/ How do you target a specific unit? Unless you make it so you can select your unit 3/5

oh lol -.-
this test map shows you the power of a good camera system and of a good keyboard system and not how to select a unit!!
it isn't even part of one of those systems!! just to make the testmap more fun...
but if you are glad then i will remove that...

done! now change your rating please -.-
 
I had your last version in a map i was testing and it worked perfectly fine but when i inserted this one now the unit (unit u) just stands still and walks in place instead of moving around please explain?

well thats because the movement system is NOT a part of this submission!! it's just for this test map and optimized just for this test map

BUT in the next update (maybe already today) the movement system will be a stand alone system and a real part of this submission!

Allright, I think most of us simpler mappers need a more in depth tutorial, like if I try to edit any jass trigger it breaks.
So I can't really reverse engineer your example template...

This system is awesome and will be a waste not to use it...
Plus, the movement system is the best that I've seen so far, at least one of the few that does turning effectively. Most of the others I've seen are crude 8 direction ones.
 
okay 2 things:
1. when someone rates a system low please explain why you did that!!
(with 4 votes it was 5/5 and now with 5 votes 4.2/5 so someone rated this 1/5 without any explanaition!!
@ this person: as you see many other users think different from you so please think of maybe changing your rating!)


2. the stand alone version of the movement system is nearly finished but it will take some time cause i add the feature of user generated plugins (side steps,dashing,quick turning around,...)

So vjass is required for this system to work?
This really is the best Camera system I've ever seen. the only thing I think you an fix up a bit is the extremeness of the angle of attack when on a hill o.o the hills are rather small, but the camera goes into an overhead view. :)
still 5/5 its freakin incredible

If it isn't like that, the camera will move inside the hill :p So The_Witcher did it the most efficient way possible.

you use a interger to get the running anim for the unit, but its not the same interger for each model plz make it so it can be changed bc not every unit in the game has the same tags for walk anim.
 
Are you using Jass NewGen Pack? and if so, the right version (1.5d)?

you have used the custom script to bind your unit to the camera and to the movement system??

remember to use call SetCameraUnit ( yourunit ) to aplly the camera for the owner of the unit you give as paramter to the unit

and to use call SetMovementUnit( yourunit, forwhichplayer, animation )
to bind a players arrow keys to a unit? the parameters: yourunit of type unit, forwhichplayer of type player and animation of type integer!!!

Alright i download the map open it with JNGP then click testmap then when the map finishes loading it works perfectly fine but then when i exit back out and click to save/save as then go back to testmap then the system wont work its like im not even pressing the arrow keys....

EDIT* im using EGUI so ill try using normal but that shouldnt change anything...

EDIT2* I tried using UMSWE and Normal WE and 1st it did the exact same thing on UMSWE and 2nd it doesnt work on Normal WE just as i thought

you don't need any expansions for the normal we except the JNGP standart features (jasshelper etc)!

and remember that you have to save a map TWICE before it works in JNGP! and sometimes JNGP breaks so maybe redownlaoding helps...
