Camera Command Help {zoom command, like -cam 500 moves it towards the ground}

Alecgator23 · Jun 7, 2009

I've been making a map of strategy as my project, and have no idea to change your camera by a command like player 1 red chats -Cam 500, then move the camera in towards the ground. Does this have something to do with variables?

Your help will be deeply appreciated :gg:

Ughe, another one?

I have just said this in another post and a few weeks ago, there was someone else who needed this.
Use the "Search" button, it's there for a reason!

Allright, this is a trigger I have created for my map DoomRaiders ORPG (a 2-year old map, but this trigger is still pretty good):

CamZ
- Events
  - Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -Cam as A substring
  - Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -Cam as A substring
  - Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -Cam as A substring
  - Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -Cam as A substring
  - Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -Cam as A substring
  - Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -Cam as A substring

    - If - Conditions
      - (Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat String)))) Equal to Empty String
    - Then - Actions
      - Skip remaining actions
    - Else - Actions
  - Set Camera_Distance = (Real((Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat String))))))
  - Camera - Set (Triggering player)'s camera Distance to target to Camera_Distance over 0.20 seconds
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - Camera_Distance Greater than or equal to 3000.00
    - Then - Actions
      - Camera - Set (Triggering player)'s camera Distance to target to 3000.00 over 0.20 seconds
      - Set Camera_Distance = 3000.00
      - Game - Display to (All players matching ((Triggering player) Equal to (Matching player))) for 6.00 seconds the text: |c00ff0000Zoomed ou...
    - Else - Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - Camera_Distance Less than or equal to 500.00
    - Then - Actions
      - Camera - Set (Triggering player)'s camera Distance to target to 500.00 over 0.20 seconds
      - Set Camera_Distance = 500.00
      - Game - Display to (All players matching ((Triggering player) Equal to (Matching player))) for 6.00 seconds the text: |c00ff0000Zoomed in...
    - Else - Actions

Example:
"-Cam 2600" will set the camera distance to 2600

Min = 500
Max = 3000
If you break these limits (like -cam 8000), it will automatically be set to the limit (in this case 3000).

That isn't really a hard trigger, if you think about it...

Alecgator23 · Jun 22, 2009

and sorry to ask but what is in the variable?

ap0calypse · Jun 22, 2009

"Camera_Distance"?
It's just a real variable... =/

Jack_Sparrow93 · Jun 22, 2009

Something is wrong... I made it as u did, but when I set it on 1000, it set on 500 instead... What is wrong?

You have used another command ("zoom")
Everywhere where you see "6", you need to replace it with "7" (it has 1 more character).

So "(Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string)))) Equal to <Empty String>"
Becomes "(Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string)))) Equal to <Empty String>"

If I feel like it, I'll create a trigger where you only need to change the command, all the rest changes on it's own ^^ (with other word: the trigger checks when the integer starts and will read the integer only, the min- and max-values will be variables as well to make it look easier).

You have used " Camera_Distance Greater than or equal to 500.00"
It should be "less than or eqsual to"

Thx a lot, it works exellent

Near the beginning of the trigger actions where it says Empty String, I can't find that in the trigger anywhere. Where is it?
