Lock camera on variable unit

[WarCortez]

I currently have some problem with the camera lock of certain units. I making an rpg and I want to lock the camera on heroes the same way warchasers do. The problem is that this campaign has multiple heroes, so I made a trigger to lock the camera on the hero currently selected. It worked fine with specific unit event, but since there are walking between maps (and because it's much more comfortable), I keep my heroes in variables and specific unit event has no reference to variable units. Is there a way to make this work?

Just user Player - Selection event and then Camera - Lock camera to unit.

• One
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to Two <gen> the event (Player - (Player((Integer A))) Selects a unit)

• Two
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Triggering player)
  • Actions
    • Camera - Lock camera target for (Triggering player) to (Triggering unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

What's the purpose of that 1 to 12 integer?

 

[rulerofiron99]

That's to make it work for all players.

Oh, I see. Since the player is only the blue player (it's a single player campaign), I left out the integer part. It's working, but for some reason, the first hero needs two clicks to lock the camera. The second one works fine.

Could you post your triggers too?

  • Actions
    • Camera - Lock camera target for Player 2 (Blue) to Hero1, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

I don't understand why you separate the units into triggers. The trigger I posted will allow you to select any hero unit, owned by the player triggering the selection event. It is broad enough to include both specific units and units stored in a variable.

The separation is because I originally had this trigger, I just modified it with your player event suggestion. But I packed them together and used "triggering unit" instead of referring the individuals and this somehow solved the double-click problem This version also saves me the trouble to trigger potential temporary heroes' camera. Thank you so much!
