[Trigger] Camera locks onto wrong unit

[Xaerth]

When I test the map, in the update event, it follows around the proper rotation, but still locks onto player one's camera. This is the map initialization, and this is probably what would cause it to lock incorrectly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please use trigger tags so that the trigger is easier to read.

trigger tags are [trigger*] Trigger text [/trigger*]
Remove the * and you get a trigger tag. Do not modify blank spaces from your copy paste.

• Trigger hi....

Wrapped in tags for you but u should still do it in the origional post..

Ok, first I would change the "Map Initialization" event to "Elapsed Game time is 0.4 seconds." Then make the 2nd initially off and have the first one turn it on.

Next you forgot to specifiy a unit type the first time u set "TUnitGroup" in the first trigger.

Lastly I think your problem is solely right here in the first trigger:

• Camera - Lock camera target for (Picked player) to UnitPlayer[(Player number of (Picked player))], offset by (0.00, 0.00) using The unit's rotation

Tried it, no difference. I used map init out of laziness, I'll keep it this way, thanks.

No, it just sets it to a controller unit type with a space for a name.

I gathered that too, but it looks fine. I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the GUI event?

Thanks for the Trigger stuff, saw it in the read me first, but didn't see the flags (I was probably not reading intentively) and decided to post it anyways.

edit: after completely turning off the view trigger, the camera is properly locked... but my movement stops working on all players, even when the controller is unpaused. I also replaced a triggering player with picked player, and that fixed that incorrect view.

I think your flaws are these:

• Set TLoc = (Position of UnitPlayer[(Player number of (Triggering player))])

• (UnitController[(Player number of (Triggering player))] is paused) Equal to False

• Unit - Order UnitPlayer[(Player number of (Triggering player))] to Move To TLoc

Since the event is "elapsed game time" there are no triggering player

Its periodic but yea, I think your right.. So if that is true, you would need to set each unit to its respective player.. Basically make a unit variable and a player variable that will refer to the unit one for each player..
