[Trigger] Lock Camera and rotate around unit while he moves

[JnM]

Hi all,

Been dipping my feet back into WE and enjoying it. My question:

Is there a way to lock a camera and make it rotate around a unit while he's moving towards a region?

So far I've only been able to find "Rotate around (position of (triggering unit))", but obviously it doesn't follow the unit.

Do I need to create a periodic event trigger with camera/unit variables or am I missing something?

This is typically controlled with a very fast periodic timer (.03 sec for example). Though it doesn't have to be that fast.

There are a lot of other threads about it How to make a Camera always face the back of a unit

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I'm not looking to simply lock a camera on a unit. I'd like for it to stay locked, but also rotate around him as he continues to move. This is for a cinematic effect.

In other words, I want to make the camera spin around the unit as him as the centerpoint WHILE he's moving somewhere.

EDIT: I believe I found the solution to my problem: I needed to create a camera variable that saved the lock camera position. I can apply that camera variable starting from another locked camera. It's a pretty neat effect.
