Do you mean straight from the top with some half-transparant picture over the camera?

Like the Predator Missile,its fired from a drone,how do i make the camera look like that?

In case someone who wants to help doesn't know too much about Call of Duty, this is what it looks like:

Anyway Louie, it would always help to be more specific since not everyone might understand what you exactly need.

EDIT: The Warcraft 3 camera and the missile camera are both birds eye view. Is it the markings you want? The rotation? The color filter?

You need a fade filter that greys out the screen. (Semi-transparant with medium to high equal color values.)

You have to set distance to target to a certain number and angle of attack too every 0.03 seconds.

I guess that that's it.

EDIT: Zooming and changing camera to mouse is impossible.

Ok thx guys,i think i have an idea now on how to do that though i have another question,how do i make a unit constantly move(using SetUnitX/Y) towards another unit,because im trying to make a flying unit(like a jet) and it can shoot a guided missile that will follow another flying unit,heres what i've done so far.

• Normal Missile
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set UnitLoc = (Position of (Attacking unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Normal Missile for (Owner of (Attacking unit)) at UnitLoc facing (Facing of (Attacking unit)) degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Follow (Attacked unit)
    • Animation - Change (Last created unit) flying height to (Current flying height of (Attacked unit)) at 50.00
    • Countdown Timer - Start Missile_Timer as a Repeating timer that will expire in 0.50 seconds
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_UnitLoc)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_PUnitLoc)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_MissileTarget)

that is when the unit attacks another unit(like a dummy attack with 1 damage) then another unit(it was a peasant but i changed the model file) will spawn and follow the target.
to cluster rocket)

• NMissileExpl
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set MissileNear = (Units within 200.00 of (Target point of issued order) matching ((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Normal Missile))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in MissileNear and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s death animation
        • Unit - Cause (Picked unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 350.00 at (Target point of issued order), dealing 800.00 damage of attack type Siege and damage type Demolition
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Picked unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Orc\WarStomp\WarStompCaster.mdl
        • Wait 0.50 seconds
        • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)

that's when the missiles becomes near a unit then it explodes and does damage

• MissileMove
  • Events
    • Time - Missile_Timer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Owner of (Ordered unit))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions

As for this one,i have no idea now on how to do it,i want it to be that the Missile constantly will get nearer the target,though i dont know how to do it,help please.

I think that you should search for a missile system that supports advanced homing, flying missiles and flying targets.

Yes I am working on a missile system that supports as many as I can think of and am currently very busy with the maths for exacly what you want... but am a bit stuck atm...
However this is real hard stuff so I suggest you to look for a simpler missile system that still supports homing missiles and use that one for the time being.
