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

I searched for several systems but none of them really worked.


1.How can I set this one up for 6 human players ?




2. I changed the footman into a Paladin but the Paladin just slides aroud without animations when I use arrow keys.
Is there a way to fix that ?

Can you create an in game individual player distance adjustment feature?

DainyG: you have to adjust the animation index for each model. thats why he just stands there unanimated. I created a library for every unit type I use and adjust an integer variable equal to the animation index needed. and its already set for all players

well new update features your proposal :D

like if you chose a hero unit make it run something like this:

  • If/Then/Else
    • Conditions
      • Unit type of triggering unit = VillagerMale
    • Then
      • Set AnimationIndexVar = 6
    • Else
  • Call the camera system custom script here using the udg_AnimationIndexVar

Every model is different and you have to find that out for yourself lol
Click to expand...

How can I find that out myself ?
Just by messing around and try all numbers ?

EDIT:....not even the cam system works for me.
I copied and pasted the trigger of it into my map but it just doesnt work.....
btw I use the latest version of jassnewgenpack.

yeah start from 1 then work your way up, if you make a way to change the index in game it works better for finding it out.
Click to expand...

ok I'll give it a try.

but what about the cam system?


EDIT: I already fixed it.
I just forgot to copy the "systems in use" trigger.
Everything works fine now excepted the animations.



EDIT2: is the part with "SetAnimationIndexVar= x" a variable ?
How can I do that variable exactly ?

and I neither understand this part "Call the camera system custom script here using the udg_AnimationIndexVar"

It currently looks like that for me
Rpgsystem.PNG


I made the "SetAnimationIndexVar= x" as integer but it doesnt work....


...and whats the highest number for animation index?

btw UrsaWarrior is player 2 (blue)

EDIT: ....ok it works now allways when I change the number the animation is a different one...
But how can I find the walking animation faster ?

Its anoying trying out all numbers....

But I got another questions.
Some units seem to turn faster with arrow keys than others.
Where can I change the turning speed ?
...and no It changes nothing when I just change the turning speed of the units with the unitseditor.

Uhm... whats your problem? when you registered the unit it should work...
and you maybe have to try around to find the walk anim index...
Click to expand...

1.The unit is never moving!
2.Adding debug messages, I found out that the loop works and it only found the unit in the first loop and never again.
3.I never remove, replace or kill the unit. I don't remove it from movement either.

I will find the walk animation index, that's easy.

Alright thisl make me sound like a noob at jass (fore i am a noob at jass) but what do i type and were to set the walk animation ive looked allover ur notes and things and i couldent figure out i tried a few gesses but jass helper told me it was errord so if u could link up what to type exactly id love u forever!!

oh and i almost forgot when u select the unit in the editor and on the left theres the little window with the model there go through the anims and count till u find the walk anim or atleast thats what i think u do instead of gess and checkin i believ the riflemans walk is five
anim.jpg

lol u can still control the unit when it dies

well copy it all plus one of the trigs in the setup folder named systems in use. triggs (gui thank the lord) like
  • systems in use
    • Events
      • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set u = Footman 0001 <gen>
      • Custom script: call SetCameraUnit(udg_u, Player(0))
      • Custom script: call SetMovementUnit(udg_u,Player(0),6)
copy that in also and change u to the unit you wana control all will work sept it might not play walk anim im not sure how to change hopefly sombody will post how

Need help

The release function doesn't work

Compile error

      • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -release as An exact match
    • Conditions

Click to expand...

guys LEARN JASS BASICS!! you don't have to know how to code but you should understand how jass works so you can use jass systems...

to change the animation you have to change the 6 in Custom script: call SetMovementUnit(udg_u,Player(0),6) into another number! you have to try around with this value cause there is no way to say which is the right one before trying... just start at 0 and always increase by 1 until you find the right one ;)



UPDATE: v.9.0: after trying to add a feature to make doodads blocking your view transparent (which i realized is impossible in WC3) i improved the cam system's code a little

would it be possible to change the function of arrow keys when one of the other arrow keys is pressed? i was thinking that it would be cool to make it so when strafing, the opposite arrow is used to turn, like it would when not strafing, and the up arrow is used to turn the opposite way, because the arrow used to turn that way would be currently held down.

(strafing left then pushing the up arrow would turn u left as u strafe and right arrow would turn u right

Well the whole strafing thing is coded as a plugin and not part of the system core^^ so you can code your own plugin or edit mine so you get your result...

Thanks ALOT for this system. I've been searching for a good system for ages, I actually made this account just to thank you. I don't know much about jass, but what i know is that there are others who have a lot to learn from you. I love the double click system.
10/5 +rep

Well, it should be Director's Cut because it is simply our most useful resource and it's very well coded!

JASS: 
function ResetToGameCameraForPlayer takes player whichPlayer, real duration returns nothing
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == whichPlayer) then
        // Use only local code (no net traffic) within this block to avoid desyncs.
        call ResetToGameCamera(duration)
    endif
endfunction
in
JASS: 
function ReleaseCameraUnit takes player p returns nothing
    if CamUnit[GetPlayerId(p)] != null then
        set CamUnit[GetPlayerId(p)] = null
        call ResetToGameCameraForPlayer(p,0)
        if GetLocalPlayer() == p then
            call CameraSetSmoothingFactor(0)
        endif
        set active = active - 1
        if active == 0 then
            call PauseTimer(tim)
        endif
    endif
endfunction
but no need to change for just a single function call
well I actually need to find something to have a reason to post and vote it so... :thumbs_up:

5/5 + rep anyway

So how do I do that? Could someone please put it in a map and send/pastebin it to me? Thanks, will rep. I know I'm crap at JASS, but there's only 2 triggers in my whole map in JASS that I need to edit so isn't reason enough to learn.

Also, how to set the camera further back from the unit?

Thanks, great system
