Hero Selection

Faith · Feb 13, 2015

I'm using a system I just came up with and I want to fine-tune it.
Also there seems to be a problem I couldn't find where only the first hero is selectable.

Fixed the problem where you couldn't choose anything except the first hero.

I'm also curious to know if there is a way to disable the ability to reset the camera distance to target using a mouse wheel while they're selecting their hero.
Basically if they zoom back in using the mouse wheel they won't be able to view every hero.

Every 0.03 seconds of gametime -> set camera distance = ... set camera attack angle = -90

Should put neutral passive into a player variable as well otherwise cool system. Maybe if you plan to upload it, make a double-click feature for selection though I would prefer triple-click myself since sometimes mice can double-click with just one click... Especially if its old or damaged.

Don't forget to edit another field in the camera stuff if you give the players more "height" to their camera.

@Wietlol

Thanks lol I was wondering if there was a way of doing it without a loop though. Like just disabling it. It's not the angle that's the problem honestly, it's the fact that they can zoom in by doing it.

You would only put it into a variable when it's used more than once, I typically use loops for player number values and neutral passive is never used due to the nature of the map. You yourself also dislike to use variables apparently, so I'm not sure where this is coming from. But thanks.

There are countless better hero selection systems out there, I wouldn't bother uploading this. And this has nothing to do with double clicking or triple clicking, it's a chat message. It's a lot easier to handle.

What do you mean?

It was a joke you didn't get. :thumbs_up:

Yeah there is, well if you let players zoom out at the start then they'll mess up their camera height.

Players aren't allowed to zoom out, what do you mean by that?
