[JASS] Current Camera Bounds?

[Emm-A-]

Hey guys,

i wanted to create a function, that locks the game camera for player x to the middle of his current camera bounds (the place where he is looking at).

So i created a dummy at map initialisation at Location (0,0)

The Problem is, the functions doesnt set the unit x and y to the new values, it always locks the game cam at (0,0)

function AdjustCameraForPlayer takes player p returns nothing
    
    local rect r
    local integer id = GetPlayerId(p)
     
    if GetLocalPlayer() == p then
       set r = Rect(GetCameraBoundMinX(),GetCameraBoundMinY(),GetCameraBoundMaxX(),GetCameraBoundMaxY())
       call SetUnitX(udg_Spielheld[id+5],GetRectCenterX(r))
       call SetUnitY(udg_Spielheld[id+5],GetRectCenterY(r))
       
       call SetCameraTargetController(udg_Spielheld[id+5],0.00,0.00,false)
    endif
    
endfunction

So my question is, how can i get the current camera field of player x?

Thanks

This question doesn't really make sense but I assume you want (MaxX - MinX,MaxY - MinY) ?

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Just convert it from GUI (Current camera bounds)

 

[Palaslayer]

may i post a question at this thread as well?

in my map, i use camera bounds, too, because there will be extra regions, but the extra regions how on the damn minimap and it looks rly fucked up...

is there a way to change this??

 

[Super-Sheep]

N o .

ofc you can import custom minimap, but that can be done only once.

 

[Emm-A-]

no there isnt, and why dont you open another thread for this? it doesnt relate to my question -.-!

@topic:
I want to do this :

get the x and y of the CENTER of the actual game view of player x to lock the camera there!

Therefore i thought about creating a rect and getting its center.

this is the new code btw:

function AdjustCameraForPlayer takes player p returns nothing
    
    local integer id = GetPlayerId(p)
     
    if GetLocalPlayer() == p then
    
       call SetUnitX(udg_Spielheld[id+5],GetCameraBoundMaxX()-GetCameraBoundMinX())
       call SetUnitY(udg_Spielheld[id+5],GetCameraBoundMaxY()-GetCameraBoundMinY())
       
       call SetCameraTargetController(udg_Spielheld[id+5],0.00,0.00,false)
    endif
    
endfunction

the problem is:

The camera is NOT locked at the right x/y. it always locks the cam at (0,0) or at the top right corner of the map.
So how can i get the real current camera bounds? I mean, the actual game view of player x?

 

[GhostWolf]

call SetCameraTargetController(udg_Spielheld[id+5],(GetCameraBoundMaxX()+GetCameraBoundMinX())/2,(GetCameraBoundMaxY()+GetCameraBoundMinY())/2,false)

Assuming CameraBound means where the player looks, which I have no idea if it is and I don't care.

 

[Emm-A-]

well thanks ghost, you cleared the mathematical failure of mine.

I tried this new thing

call SetUnitX(udg_Spielheld[id+5],(GetCameraBoundMaxX()+GetCameraBoundMinX())/2)
       call SetUnitY(udg_Spielheld[id+5],(GetCameraBoundMaxY()+GetCameraBoundMinY()(/2)
       
       call SetCameraTargetController(udg_Spielheld[id+5],0.00,0.00,false)

and it moves the dummy to the location (0/0), to the middle of the map.

That means, the camera bounds are not the place where the player is looking at?!

Am i wrong, or if im not, is there any way to do, what i want?

just once again: i want to freeze the camera for player x

 

[Justify]

Try to test the stuff?

call BJDebugMsg(R2S(GetCameraBoundMaxY()))

and the rest...

 

[Emm-A-]

i already did it, the CameraBound-Values are always the same values.

And if i change them with

SetCameraBounds()

, the minimap gets ugly, as we all know ^^

So how can i freeze the camera for player x without pausing the game?

I could show a dialog without any buttons, but i dont want to pause the game for player x neither...i just want to lock the camera to the place where he is looking at

Please help

 

[FamousPker49]

The current camera bounds will always be the playable map area, unless you change it. So of course you will always end up with the 0,0, considering you are looking for the center of the playable map area.

What exactly is this trigger for? You just want to pause the camera for the player?

 

[Justify]

There are 2 functions that sound quite good, I'm to bored to test them ;P

GetCameraEyePositionX()
GetCameraEyePositionY()

GetCameraTargetPositionX()
GetCameraTargetPositionY()

 

[Emm-A-]

yessss

Thanks justify,

GetCameraTargetPositionX()
GetCameraTargetPositionY()

was exactly what i needed.

@Famouspoker: i want to freeze the camera at its current point.

[Porblem solved]

Thanks at all who tried to help me, and of course some rep for you guys

Those functions only work for one player, so for them to work in multiplayer, you'll need a bit of local player poop:

    local real x
    local real y
    if (GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0)) then
        set x = GetCameraTargetPositionX()
        set y = GetCameraTargetPositionY()
        // Do stuff or something idk
    endif

That will set x and y to the camera target position of Player(0) (red) in multiplayer.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Oshi, thats right, its like multiboards, right?

 

[HINDYhat]

Right.

 

[M0RT]

It will most likely cause desync if you create units at current camera view.

 

[Emm-A-]

why are you guys spaming around?

I know that its local code! and im not going to create any unit dude
