Creating a First Person Camera

[indomitable1319]

Sure.

 

[NoobofHonour]

Magamdy, I need some help with the looking left and looking right triggers. I can't find the arithmetic bit in the triggers. Can you please help?

 

[indomitable1319]

Arithmetic? I'll show you a step-by-step instruction.

OMGHAXXORZ HUGE PICS

Here's the full function.

Now, create a new action under the Set Camera Field (Timed) under the Camera category.

Change the Distance to View into Rotation, and then the 'to' part into this:

Select the first addend, and change it into (Rotation of (Current Camera)), and change the second addend into any number you want, preferably 3.

Change the 'over X seconds' part and you're all done! Make sure to get the correct Event, okay?

For the Look Right part, make sure to turn the + 3.00 into a - 3.00, okay?

OH YEAH MAGAMDY I'M MANAGING YOUR TUTORIAL. YEAH!


I also dare you, Magamdy to guess what map had those triggers.

Dude you answered a question before it even knew it was asked

oh and.... I have no idea...your map lol?

 

[indomitable1319]

Yeah. RV.

Hope that helped you, NoobofHonour.

 

[Magamdy]

Yeah. RV.

Wait....I already know that lol

 

[indomitable1319]

OH MAI YOU CAN SEE MY TASKBAR!

Meh...

 

[Yuil]

Is it possible to make this, and arrow key movement system?(or with wasd?)

 

[indomitable1319]

By WASD, then you'll use skills on your unit, which will reduce the number of spells you have.

Or why not a Arrow-Key cycle skill?
[Default Setting: Camera for arrow keys]
[Activates the Arrow-Key Cycle spell]
[Arrow Keys for movement!]

OFF: Camera
ON: Movement.

It's a bit hard to manage, and loads of triggers, but it might turn into a success.

 

[Darkzealot_128]

I like this tutorial, but wheres the test map? Can't you just attach all the triggers to one?

 

[indomitable1319]

The test map was rejected by the mods.

So you can't download it anymore. It's up to Magamdy if he wants to send you guys the new map with Heimalack.

 

[dragonslarger]

i can't find offset plz help

 

[indomitable1319]

I'm not too sure if Magamdy will give you the map.

Because I don't have the test map without Heimalack completed yet.
Ask Magamdy to gve you the map.

 

[Magamdy]

Can someone send the map to my e-mail? [email protected] Plz

Woa, it's a long time since I've been here . Anyway I didnt work on the map for a long time but ofc u can have it

 

[indomitable1319]

Is that the one with Heimalack almost finished and the new music added?

 

[Magamdy]

Indomitable DDD And yes it is

 

[indomitable1319]

I bet he'll be really happy to see some progress on it.

The new version's AWESOME.

Understand me correctly, I would LOVE to see that map finished, and work on the rest of the series, but I'm just a school kid, I have lots of other stuff to do, and I'm a trophy hunter on PS3, so I can't bring up the mentality to finish the map. The idea is all in my head, just gotta make it happen, and thats the part where i get stuck.

 

[indomitable1319]

I have the same problem.

 

[Magamdy]

I have the same problem.

Yea but you got 100 rep

 

[indomitable1319]

No; that's nothing. You've made better stuff.
You deserve more rep.

 

[Orcnet]

Excellent!

So Good! I'm gonna try this at my map, thanks for the tutorial!

 

[indomitable1319]

Okay, The camera moves using keyboards.
Is there anyway to change the camera movement using mouse? Well, If you know what I mean?

It isn't easy in the default editor. The only mouse tracking we have is through trackables, and that isn't enough for camera movement systems (we can't destroy trackables, and they can cut performance severely when spammed in an area).

It is easy through custom mods such as SharpCraft. They have mouse detection natives, but you probably would want to know JASS for it. Also, it would require all players of the map to start up Warcraft 3 through SharpCraft, so it is not as ideal for multiplayer.

Can someone help me ?! How to i going to do to see my heros body and when i walk and turn around i see a siege trail how am i going to do and fix that trail?!

Could you post a screenshot of your problem? I don't know what a "siege trail" is.

If you have an issue with seeing your hero's body, then I recommend locally setting the vertex alpha to transparent. That way you won't see random parts of your body, but other players can still see you.

• Set UnitToHide = (Triggering unit)
• Custom script: if (GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(udg_UnitToHide)) then
• Animation - Change UnitToHide's vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 100.00% transparency
• Custom script: endif

 

[Lenard]

Im sure you deleted the Trigger named "Start Looking Left/Right" and "End Looking Left/Right" Thats the reason why you camera is spinning..
