Hi, i'd like to get help about a small camera problem i have.

Im trying to make a hero choosing system that is like the one in Azeroth Grand prix, basically i need to have the camera locked to my unit being displayed BUT i need to be able to use the mouse to select the hero i want. I tried using lock camera but locking it to the unit doesnt let me use the zoom i want so im way too far my unit and the effect is not good. Could anyone give me a hand ? thank you

why don't you simply select the displayed unit via trigger and give it a 'sold unit' that needs to be bought to choose the hero...


just my thought - i haven't played azeroth but nevertheless it sounds like you have problems with the cam so ignore it and use some other way ^^

just my 2cents

This sounds somehow weird to me. If the camera is locked to a target, you can of course still use the mouse, you only can't scroll. So what's your problem?!
As far as I can see, Blizzard's camera in Azeroth Grand prix is also just locked to the target unit and that's all.
