Camera / Lighting {making a very dark atmosphere / portrait camera snap preventing}

[Psyris]

1. Is there any way to prevent the camera from changing when a player clicks their unit portrait? I'm creating a map with fixed cameras and this allows players to bypass that.
2. Is there a way to better control lighting without fade filters. I want to make an area much darker and then place doodads which emit light. Midnight isn't dark enough.

Midnight isn't dark enough? Dude visiblity is going to be crap if it gets darker. Are you making a porn rickroll where you cant move ur camera from a blk screen?

Haha.. I'm pretty much content with the level of darkness midnight provides, but I would like to experiment with different sources lighting to see if I could make it more atmospheric.

You can darken it with fog, I think.

For very dark you could use one custom script, that I dont remember anymore.

It was something like callsetnighmodels():. Hopefully someone comes and posts it.

Thanks! I did some searching on thehelper.net and found a tutorial on it.

Still have the camera problem.

About the camera problem, I don't think that's possible. You could maybe try to detect it with triggers, but I'm not sure how.

You could lock the camera to a unit if it just rotates and moves slightly. Then rotate it and move the dummy.

Found a way.. didn't think it would be possible. Had to create a region at target of camera with size 0,0 and the set the player's camera bounds to it...

Thanks for the help.
