Camera Question

[PROXY]

Soo:

The normal cam is like that

standard

but I want it to be like that:

like

so an exact birdview camera. maybe somebody can tell me how I can make that? the complicated thing is, that it should follow the unit when it moves (like the normal cam trigger lock camera target at unit, just with that birdview)

+rep for shure

Wait, lemme get this straight, you want a birdeye view cam, which locks to a selected unit? or is free to move? or when u click a unit portrait the cam follows it?

for the second and third you simply make a cam object at set the Angle of attack to 270, then use a trigger to apply the cam after so many seconds, the second is tricker but still simple, if u wanted the frist one just say and I'll show you how.

• Cam Target set
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) Selects a unit

    • Camera - Apply Cam <gen> for (Triggering player) over 0.00 seconds

• Constant lock

    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Camera - Lock camera target for (Picked player) to Cam_Lock[(Player number of (Triggering player))], offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

That should just about do it.
Make sure you create a camera object with an Angle of attack of 270 tho

You don't need a preset camera. Plus, in the periodic trigger, you also need to set the angle of attack, so that the player can't scroll with the mouse wheel. Here:

• One
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
    • Set Hashtable = (Last created hashtable)
    • -------- ------------------------ --------
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to Two <gen> the event (Player - (Player((Integer A))) Selects a unit)

• Two
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Save (Distance to target of the current camera view) as (Key distance) of (Key (Triggering player)) in Hashtable
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Triggering unit) as (Key hero) of (Key (Triggering player)) in Hashtable
    • Player Group - Add (Triggering player) to CameraGroup
    • Trigger - Turn on Three <gen>

• Three
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Number of players in CameraGroup) Not equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Player Group - Pick every player in CameraGroup and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set Distance = (Load (Key distance) of (Key (Picked player)) from Hashtable)
            • Set Hero = (Load (Key hero) of (Key (Picked player)) in Hashtable)
            • Camera - Lock camera target for (Picked player) to Hero, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation
            • Camera - Set (Picked player)'s camera Angle of attack to 270.00 over 0.00 seconds
            • Camera - Set (Picked player)'s camera Distance to target to Distance over 0.00 seconds
      • Else - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Trigger "Three" is not initially enabled.

No offence intended, Tank-Commander.
