Cntrl+C

[Steel_Stallion]

Ok so, I feel stupid for doing all this advanced shit but not finding a way to stop this.

In my map, your camera is locked to your marine. So that it follows him around and such. Thing is I made the entire map visible because I used the Call setdaynight function to make everything dark so I can light up certain spots with ambient lighting and the players flash light ability.

Anyway, the player can just easily press Cntrl+C which my friend found out unlocks the camera, meaning he can find all his teammates easily and see the entire map that has a source of light on it.

Kind of distrubs the sombre atmosphere.

How do I disable users from using Cntrl+C?

you could use a periodic event trigger like every 3 seconds lock cam to unit or something like that, if players use ctrl C after 3 seconds the camera will get stuck again

 

[Steel_Stallion]

That would lag... wouldnt it?

Isnt there a better solution? I dont feel comfortable with setting periodic events like that.

i think that is the only possibility, but you could use fog of war and make the hero see long distance, it will not spoil your maps atmosphere i mean if your camera is stuck to the hero you cant see anything else but the camera view and if you move your hero around, the fag will clear, its like never having fog of war and you can use the triggers to set allyences with no shared vision so it will be practically useless for the player to unlock his camera because he has nothing to see because he has no shared vision from his allyes i hope this helps you somehow

Nah, it won't lag even if you set it to every 0.5 seconds.

to make it safe and if you really want to avoid having lag (that might be caused by the number of players that use that trigger ...) make it every 1.25 seconds and it will work just perfect or ask a jass expert to make you a trigger that detects when the camera resets and add it again

 

[raid1000]

it lags only if u create many special effects or units but i dont think this will lag

 

[Steel_Stallion]

I was just hoping there was a way to disable the actual pressing of "Cntrl+C" rather than having to do that.

But ok, Ill take your word for it. Thanks guys.

Wouldn't lag even at 0.001

 

[Mufanza]

Aye, it wouldn't lag, just don't forget to remove Points with

• Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Variable)

 

[Steel_Stallion]

It doesnt use points, it just locks onto a predefined unit (Variable)

It wouldn't lag with such a long timer. 3 seconds is looong.
