How to create cam

[rysnt11]

Not the cam basicaly, i just want to know how to make a mpi trig that allow scrolling, but with same distance

  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Trigger - Add to Tri <gen> the event (Player - Player(IntegerA) selects a unit)

• Tri
• Events
• Conditions
  • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Triggering player)
• Actions
  • Player Group - Add (Triggering player) to CamGroup
  • Camera - Lock camera target for (Triggering player) to (Triggering unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation
  • Set Unit[Player number of (Triggering player)] = (Triggering unit)
  • Trigger - Turn on Tri2 <gen>

• Tri2
• Events
  • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Player Group - Pick every player in CamGroup and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Camera - Set (Picked player)'s camera Rotation to (Facing of Unit[Player number of (Picked player)] over 0.00 seconds
      • Camera - Set (Picked player)'s camera Angle of Attack to 342.28 over 0.00 seconds

There are plenty of GUI/Jass/vJass cam systems already on Hive, but here's a really basic one.

Will this prevent back to normal game camera distance when rolling?

 

[Adiktuz]

yes...

 

[rysnt11]

But why use 342,28?

 

[Adiktuz]

I think that's the default AOA of the camera...

if you still want to change the AOA (with the mouse scroll), and retain distance, just change that line to distance... and maybe about 1200...

Ok, thanks!

Nop,that's not the default Angle of Attack value, I just use this exact value when using 3rd person camera.

 

[rysnt11]

How do you calcluate that?

Just go to the camera editor, create a camera, and mess with the angle of attack until you find the value you like. It is all just like a circle, and the angle is measured in degrees. However, in WE the angles are kind of flipped upside down. What would normally be considered as 90, is 270, and so on.

It is a simple concept, but confusing to explain. You can check out my tutorial about cameras:

• Angle of Attack - This modifies the angle of viewing. This does not modify the angle from left to right like rotation, but rather from up to down. The range of values is 1-360. 360/0 degrees is directly horizontal, and it parallel to flat ground. As you increase it from 0, it will begin to sink underground and keep changing its angle. At 90 degrees, it will be underground and looking directly upward. At 180 degrees, you'll have an upside down camera that is parallel to flat ground. At 270 it will face directly down at the ground. 304 degrees is the standard game camera AoA. Approximately 345 degrees or so is usually used for RPG-like cameras.
