[Trigger] Camera Trigger - What can I do with this?

[Kabel]

I have a trigger in my map:

• Camera
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in Player Group - Player 1 (Red) and do (Camera - Set (Picked player)'s camera Distance to target to ((Distance to target of (Current camera)) + 400.00) over 0.00 seconds)

What can I do so the camera works in the same way for all players?
Is it possible to prevent players from zooming in and out?

Thanks in advance.

For the distance that trigger you have posted should work, but better use a set amount instead of current distance + 400 .

Edit the Map Initalization and change it too: Every 0.10 seconds of the game.

Then players could rotate it though. See if there is smth in the Gameplay Constants about default distance, and reset it every 0.10 seconds instead.

Players can rotate if they want to, as long as no one zooms in and out. But is the trigger just for Player 1 right now? Don't I need to change that field?

Well yes but you could make your own Player Group variable and set it to include all players then pick every player in your group variable.

Player Groups leak so when you use your own variable you need to put a Custom Script at then end which reads "call DestroyForce(udg_yourvariablename)".

Any triggers I can add to stop the zoom in and zoom out?

Change "Player Group - Player 1 (Red)" to "Picked Player".

I don't find anything in Gameplay Constants, is there somewhere else this can be?

Why would you like to make players not be able to zoom camera anyway?

    • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_PlayerGroupVariable)

Now my trigger looks like this. I wonder how I do to make the variable include all players?

I want all players to have their camera zoomed out to a set value. Unfortunatly if a player accidently zoomes in he can not zoom back again due to how my trigger works. If a player happens to zoom in he will be in a disadvantage cause he can not see as much of the battlefield and the map as the other players can during the rest of the game.

this trigger works for me:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Camera - Set (Picked player)'s camera Distance to target to ((Distance to target of (Current camera)) + 400.00) over 0.00 seconds)

note the "Pick every player in (All players)" and "Set (Picked player)'s camera"

sadvisor, what happens if you turn the wheel on the Mouse then? you should make every 0.10 seconds

 

[sadvisor]

i know this. The trigger i posted was only the working version of what he first tryed to use.
So, of course, if he wants to prevent players to zoom in/out he must add "every 0.50 seconds" at events
