[Trigger] Camera Height

[Gost]

How do you set the height of a camera (i thought it was height offset). Going with my theory that it was height offset i moved a gryphon (with default height of 0) to the position of my hero every 0.5 seconds then set the height offset to the height of the gyphon this didnt work : /.

Basicaly i need to know how, when going up steep hills and whatnot one would change the height of a camera.

I think it is Z offset or something.

I believe you could use this trigger to do that.

• Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Far Z to [How high you want it to be] over [How long you want to it to take] seconds

no, steep hills affect zoffset, cause it is written in miscdata file to do so. No way to do that, except laaaarge jass calculation system which i started but was damn to bugy and i didnt makez it

Wait....so there is no possible way to change camera height to match the height of a unit? Maybe i misunderstood (hopfully).

 

[HappyTauren]

you cant understand. This is one of most idiotic wc3 calculations, because it calculates height of nearby hills, then divides them by 6 and adds height

This needs JASS to be done, although not a lot, and not very complicated. Search for it. It's not hard.

no. this requires very complex calculations to be done properly. I have tried few times but i always fail because it laggs too much, even if scripts are 100% polieshed
