Forced camera perspective?

[NecroVirus]

In game when you press Ins or Del on the numpad you get a very unusual camera angle. To be honest I find that angle to be quite interesting for my map. Does anyone know how to force this perspective?

• Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to 150.00 over 0.00 seconds

You'll need to periodically keep setting it in case the player tries/accidentally changes the camera.

Awesome! Thank you and sorry for the late reply!

I want all of you to know that playing WC3 at camera rotation 45 is like playing an entirely different game. Seriously whatever you are working on I highly suggest giving this camera angle a shot because even familiar objects/layouts look fresh and new from this perspective! It's genuinely pretty wild and I can't wait to see what it looks like in reforged!

(minimap gets pretty fugged tho)

You can try this.

• When you're in the Editor, try setting your camera to your prefered camera view.
• Now open the Camera Palette and click "Create Camera".
• Then go to the properties of the camera you created and copy all the values (FOV, Distance, Angle, Rotation & Roll) to the loop trigger, refer to the trigger I made below.

(See attached images and the triggers below).

• Init Camera Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Field of view to 75.00 over 2.00 seconds
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Distance to target to 2400.00 over 2.00 seconds
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Angle of attack to 305.00 over 2.00 seconds
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to 90.00 over 2.00 seconds
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Roll to 0.00 over 2.00 seconds
    • Camera - Change camera smoothing factor to 5.00

This should force the in-game camera to your prefered camera view.
