Camera Locking

[Ghost_x]

Hey, I'm looking to lock the camera onto a unit (I know how to do that) but I want it to stay exactly locked on so that even if the unit walks up a hill he would not go out the camera bounds at top of screen he would just stay centered and normal

 

[IcemanBo]

You mean you know how to pan the camera?

Because there is also a lock action in the GUI:

• Kamera - Lock camera target for Spieler 1 (Red) to Unit, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using default-rotation

Idk, do you mean this?

 

[Ghost_x]

Yes that's exactly what I was referring to, the problem is if he walks up a hill (not a cliff) the unit isn't centered anymore and since I have some pretty extreme hills on my map the unit will actually walk off the screen even if it's still locked on

Okay, I see. You can use LocationZ of position of unit, and then add 1650 (default hight)

Trigger

• Trigger
  • Ereignisse
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • Set Point = (Position of Unit)
    • Custom script: set udg_Real = GetLocationZ(udg_Point)
    • Kamera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Distance to Target to (Real + 1650.00) over 0.10 seconds
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation udg_point

Note: You would have to create a variable of type real named "Real". And perhaps also the Point variable if you dont have activated "automatcally create unknown variables"

Alright thanks let me test this out

 

[IcemanBo]

Edit

Sorry in last line make this

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation udg_Point

The "P" has to be capital letter. (the name has exactly to match the variable's name)

 

[Ghost_x]

already figured that out plus it has to have parenthesis and no space

 

[deathismyfriend]

The spacing doesn't really matter
Example:

• // This works
• call RemoveLocation( udg_Point)
• // This works
• call RemoveLocation( udg_Point )

You can also try my hero cam lock system in spells section. It has a ton of features.

Alright so I've been trying to use both of your guys camera systems but I've never dealt with JASS before I just need to know what I either
A. replace the whole (player) thing with or
B. just how to hook it up with a unit

Btw, thank you everybody for being so helpful I really didn't expect it

EDIT: Nvm just read this https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/1982713-post207.html made everything clear

With my system you don't replace anything download the test map the stuff is in GUI there. Read the notes in the JASS script it shows how to use each function in the form of custom script.

Maker I was wondering if it's possible for the camera to not follow the units facing angle

With my system you don't replace anything download the test map the stuff is in GUI there. Read the notes in the JASS script it shows how to use each function in the form of custom script.

Alright so I want to make it so that

unit enters a region

player who owns the unit will then be camera locked onto that unit

 

[deathismyfriend]

That is all possible with my system. Also please do not double post.
Read the notes on my system it is as easy as I could make it for GUIers to follow.

I will try to update the test map on that later so you can use it easier I haven't. Really had time to get on pc.
