[JASS] function to disable camera movement from arrow key events

[toofless]

IS there such a function to disable the arrow keys affecting the camera or do I need to manualy lock the camera?

I believe you need to manually lock the camera.

Or keep applying it every .05 seconds

Ok I thought as much. Instead of applying it every X wouldn't it be more efficient to check first if current camera is different to desired camera?

I think you can edit this under GamePlay Contanst

I can't see anything....

EDIT: If I do set camera every 0.01 it still judders and looks glitchy if I use the arrow keys, how can I prevent this?

Don't snap the camera (apply it over .02 seconds or something), and there's no way to check if the camera has changed before applying it.

Camera - Lock Camera

He already knew he could do that.

...or do I need to manualy lock the camera?

Don't snap the camera (apply it over .02 seconds or something), and there's no way to check if the camera has changed before applying it.

You can if you store the correct camera values beforehand and do a comparison. However, there's no real reason to do so because it takes just as much time to get the camera status as to set it, so you are just making things worse by checking first.

oh I see, I thought he was asking about checking current camera position (like x/y, which is only possible with rtc)

 

[Storyyeller]

You can find the target x,y, the target distance, and the angles, which allows you to find the camera x and y if you really need to

Ok thats helpful thanks.

Hmm that's logical. Will do.

Thanks ppl I can now get rid of this 'Lock Camera to unit' function. Cheers!
