How to make Third Person Camera.

How to make a Third Person Camera to follow a unit.

1. The unit.
2. Set out the camera.
3. The triggers.
4. Test the map.

The unit
Set out your unit on the map like this:

Set out the camera.
Set out your camera near the unit in
the position that you like. I placed it like this:

The triggers.
First edit the Map initialization trigger like this:

• Map Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Third Person Camera Settings --------
    • Camera - Apply Third Person Camera <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds
    • Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to Paladin 0000 <gen>, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

• Third Person Camera
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to (Facing of Paladin 0000 <gen>) over 0.10 seconds

Test the map.
Now just test the map to see if it works.
This kind of camera style is very useful for RPG's,
WoW maps and such. Good testing and modding!

Seems a little too simple, really. There's basically nothing involved.

Also, it's easy to unlock that camera.

Ok, but it is easy to make this, and it's just good that
it's easy to unlock it, if you are going to have cinematics
here and there.

I meant the user, ingame.

(This is my 100th post)

Ok, wierd :S It works for me.

 

[PurplePoot]

Press Ctrl+C (ingame) and see if it still does

 

[kebabmeat]

Okay, I will test that as soon as I have time for it

I suggest you make a few camera tutorials in this thread to make it worth approval.

to make it unlock-able do
Events
time - periodic event every 0.01 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Camera set (Player 1)'s camera Rotation to (Facing of "unit" ) Over 0 seconds

 

[kebabmeat]

You have only reduced the time, and it should work
as good with my version.

kebabmeat this trigger is only lock one unit?

 

[PurplePoot]

You have only reduced the time, and it should work
as good with my version.

You need to re-lock the camera every that long too.

This is a little too simple, and isn't being updated. Sorry, but graveyarded.
