camera

[007]

i changed the cameras distance to the target to 700 and the perspective to -15, so i have something like an ego shooter perspective. but i want the camera to be locked BEHIND the unit. if the unit turns left the camera is supposed to turn left as well. how can i do that?

Without having it tried out: It should be sufficient to fix the camera to the unit and then changing it's angle to the facing angle of the unit every 0.1 sec or so.

Try using this:

• Camera
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Distance to target to -700.00 over 0.50 seconds
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Angle of attack to 350.00 over 0.50 seconds
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Height Offset to 100.00 over 0.50 seconds
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to (Facing of (your unit)) over 0.50 seconds

Worked for me in my map.

Edit: Oh yeah, i forgot, first lock the camera to unit you want.

Correct but better is...

• Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time

you might want to use ANIMATION CHANGE SIZE for your model to make a good FPS...

Of course, i replaced my model with Dummy.mdx, and the camera was great, but you still need a model of your hero so other could see, so i made same hero model behind always moving with me, but i cannot see him. So this worked very nice in my map.

Better than 0.01 is 0.03/5. The difference is barely noticeable, but it reduces lag significantly.

Instead of Dummy.mdx try using...

• Animation - Change (YOUR UNIT)'s size to (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) of its original size

This will be useful when you have cinematics, since you can change it back by...

• Animation - Change (YOUR UNIT)'s size to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) of its original size

I first was doing it myself but still hero was seen, he was little but still it was able to see him, so i think it's better using dummy. I mean it was seen for other players ofc. So i used dummy, and another locust copy.
