Fix camera following an unit

[purparisien]

Hello,
I want to do some visuals effects with camera into my map. However, I have some problems with cameras. I would like to put a fix camera which follows the main character in some points. It's a kind of Resident Evil shooting if you prefer. Thanks.

• Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to (Triggering unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

Was there a question you had about that?

or are you looking for more of a camera system, check the spells section for Camera
there are a few systems.

Like a FPS camera?

No you're missing the point. The camera is fix. It follows the unit, but it doesnt move from its place. The camera have to stay on his point ; it can just rotate.

I'm not sure what your asking, but Check the camera systems and see if something there is similar to what your looking for.

I though my question was very simple. I've already checked the spells and nothing corresponds. Well, the camera is fix on a point. It can only rotates above the unit.
Imagine a circle. The camera is on the middle of the circle. Your unit is around the circle and moves. The camera stays in the middle of the circle but follows your move by rotating. I hope my metaphor could be helpful

That explains it better, but you will still have to explain more of it how it should works with the map like; Can the unit move out of the camera range or can it move in to the center of the circle etc because this is a map specific trigger you are going to need.

Well your unit is "blocked" in this circle. It can't escape. It's for a kind of boss fight. So he can only move into this small area. So the unit will always be on the camera range.
Besides, the unit can't go into the middle of circle. I guess the camera will be stuck if he does so. Thus there is a restricted area in the middle of the circle when the camera is setting.

Try this.

NOTE: The system supports Single-player only.

If you want Multiplayer, I can make it for you.

Okay, here are the exact triggers:

• Camera Loop
• Events:
  • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
• Actions:
  • Camera - Set Player 1's camera Rotation to (Angle from (Source of current camera view) to (Position of (Triggering Unit))) over 0.00 seconds
  • Camera - Set Player 1's camera Distance to target to (Distance from (Source of current camera view) to (Position of (Triggering Unit))) over 0.00 seconds

It should work perfectly

I heard that 0.03 is the minimum for looping triggers :O
Also I think this problem is solved.
