[JASS] Camera Zoffset

[Ciebron]

I have some problems seting up the camera correct for my map

i have these 2 variables for that

real Zoffset = (GetLocationZ(Data.Loc)*zOffsetMultiplyer+GetUnitFlyHeight(Data[index].LockedTo)
real CameraEyeZ = GetCameraEyePositionZ()

Now the problem is that i want the camera to have the same height allways even if the terrain change(the same "height" as the unit have + Zoffset). I have a problem when the unit walking on flying platforms the camera go thru the platforms.

Edit: added 2 screenshots of the problem

Edit 2: Another problem is that GetLocationZ() return the height on the "platforms" and no on the acctual ground which is the problem in this case

for those platforms you could make an exeption, that means, check if hero enters a platform and then just take unitflyheight (dunno if it works) instead of location z

 

[Ciebron]

UnitFlyHeight remains 0 when it enters the platforms

hm I found this function: GetDestructableOccluderHeight try to use it on the platform found it in:

function GetElevatorHeight takes destructable d returns integer
    local integer height

    set height = 1 + R2I(GetDestructableOccluderHeight(d) / bj_CLIFFHEIGHT)
    if (height < 1) or (height > 3) then
        set height = 1
    endif
    return height
endfunction

edit: oh ok this function GetDestructableOccluderHeight works... it returns the right height, tested it with a plattform now

Well its not a evelator platform, it a walkable platform as you can see here http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/under-construction-630/new-city-gryphonwing-hold-131670/
