Camera help

[Chewii]

Hello. I want the camera to get stuck to the unit following it all the time

Exactly like this diablo 3 preview. Not 3rd person just exactly like this one.

Try to use something like this trigger action!

• Camera
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to (Triggering unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

Well it works ty but i need help with another thing.. When you start wc3 (a game) it has a decided angle. Well i did like this.

• Camera - Apply Game Starting <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds
• Wait - 0.50 seconds
• Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to Triggering unit, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

And then i changed the angle and had camera locked but one thing can change this and that's the scroll zoom on your mouse. Can you disable scroll button on your mouse or is there some other way to solve this ?

I hope you understand.

Thanks!!!

Well you need trigger that will do that above each 0.03 seconds!
Replace

Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds witch this above
and add this below

Camera - Apply Game Starting <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds

Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to Triggering unit, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

I removed wait action, no need for it

Ye i know that ^^ i just didn't post the event

but if you start wc3 it has an decided angle. And you can change that angle with cameras so i did that and locked so i got the right angle i wanted. But if you zoom with scroll then it will come back to the decided angle again That's my problem

TY

Well there is no way or I don't know how to attach Mouse Scroll with triggers!
You can still use arrow keys to zoom, rotate camera etc, but NO with scroll!

Trigger below will lock angle, z offset etc etc to target unit! You can rotate camera with Delete/Insert, try to scroll but camera will still remain attached!

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Camera - Apply Camera 001 <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds
    • Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to Siege Engine 0000 <gen>, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

YE this works but now the rotate thing doesn't work xD as you said with delete insert. You have any other ideas? ^^

Well then you need camera system! I don't have time to create one for ya that will do some simple functions, maybe you can check tutorial section here and find out!

If nothing helps, post thread in Requests about this system for your map!

I checked tutorials but all cam tutorials was first person or 3rd person cam so nothing that helped me cuz i wanted to zoom in and out with arrow keys and change angle. And i started a thread in rquests but no answears yet You said you don't have time but i can wait some days no hurries Please do this for me you will get credits. You already got your rep cuz of all the help i got from you!

Thanks
