[Solved] how to move camera to see the sky

[LightRipper]

How to make a command which puts the camera like this for a triggering player. (I want to see the unit and in the background I want to see the sky)
If I scroll up or down I want the camera to reset to default.

Thanks for help ^^

Use the Camera Actions to position and change the properties of a Player's camera:

• Actions
  • Camera - Pan camera for Player 1 (Red) to (Position of (Triggering unit)) over 0.00 seconds
  • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Distance to target to 300.00 over 0.00 seconds
  • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to 90.00 over 0.00 seconds

This may help as well although in your case you probably don't need to Create a new Camera:

Cameras Introduction: What are cameras? Cameras are objects that can change the perspective and view (literally) of a player. They are one of the more flexible objects in Warcraft III, allowing you to modify several of its properties, even via triggers. This tutorial will tell you all about...

Thanks for your reply.. I got the gist of it.

For the command you have many choices, you could have an Ability that changes the Camera, a Chat Message that changes the Camera, a Dialog Button, an Item, etc...

I assume you'd probably want a chat command like this:

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -zoom as An exact match
  • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -zoom as An exact match
  • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -zoom as An exact match
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Camera - Pan camera for (Triggering player) to (Position of PlayerHero[Player number of (Triggering player)]) over 0.00 seconds
  • Camera - Set (Triggering player)'s camera Distance to target to 300.00 over 0.00 seconds
  • Camera - Set (Triggering player)'s camera Rotation to 90.00 over 0.00 seconds

PlayerHero is a Unit variable with an Array enabled -> []
You would Set this variable to be equal to each Player's Hero as soon as possible:

• Set Heroes
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet PlayerHero[1] = Paladin 0001 <gen>
    • Set VariableSet PlayerHero[2] = Archmage 0002 <gen>
    • Set VariableSet PlayerHero[3] = Mountain King 0003 <gen>

The [index] represents the Player's Number. Red = 1, Blue = 2, Teal = 3, etc...

So if Player 1 (Red) typed -zoom, the Camera would pan to the Paladin, Player 2 (Blue) would pan to the Archmage, and Player 3 (Teal) to the Mountain King. These are pre-placed Heroes that I'm using as an example. In your map you may purchase your Hero from a Tavern, or select them using a Region, in which case you would want to Set the PlayerHero variable in response to such Events. OR you may want this trigger to simply run when a Player Selects a Hero, either way the concept remains the same it's just the Event that changes.
