This is a Third Person Camera, designed for my ORPG.

Why choose my Third Person Camera over others?
Unlike some cameras, my camera:
-Allows right-clicking on the minimap for long distance movements
-Allows Pinging on the minimap
-Stable throughout different heights in the terrain
-Has a unit-switching ability to change the camera from 1 to another unit
--Ontop of that, it has conditions for if the unit is able to be put onto camera
-Works for up to 12 players
-GUI Users Friendly

How to use:
-All you have to do is:
  • Unit Group - Add (Unit) to CameraGroup
Then for it to work, click on the unit that was added to the group in-game and it will start the camera.

Simple as that!

Code
JASS: 
function Trig_SetCamera_Func001A takes nothing returns nothing
    if GetEnumUnit() == udg_ClickedUnit[GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnumUnit()))+1] then
        set udg_CamPoint = GetUnitLoc(GetEnumUnit())
        set udg_CamHeight = GetLocationZ(udg_CamPoint)
        call SetCameraFieldForPlayer( GetOwningPlayer(GetEnumUnit()), CAMERA_FIELD_ZOFFSET, udg_CamHeight, 0.10 )
        call SetCameraFieldForPlayer( GetOwningPlayer(GetEnumUnit()), CAMERA_FIELD_TARGET_DISTANCE, 800.00, 0.10 )
        call SetCameraFieldForPlayer( GetOwningPlayer(GetEnumUnit()), CAMERA_FIELD_ANGLE_OF_ATTACK, 325.00, 0.10 )
        call PanCameraToTimedLocForPlayer( GetOwningPlayer(GetEnumUnit()), udg_CamPoint, 0.10 )
        call SetCameraFieldForPlayer( GetOwningPlayer(GetEnumUnit()), CAMERA_FIELD_ROTATION, GetUnitFacing(GetEnumUnit()), 0.25 )
        call SetCameraFieldForPlayer(GetOwningPlayer(GetEnumUnit()),CAMERA_FIELD_ZOFFSET, GetCameraField(CAMERA_FIELD_ZOFFSET) + udg_CamHeight - GetCameraTargetPositionZ() + 75, 0.10)
        call RemoveLocation(udg_CamPoint)
    endif
endfunction

function Trig_SetCamera_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call ForGroup( udg_CameraGroup, function Trig_SetCamera_Func001A )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_SetCamera takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_SetCamera = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEventPeriodic( gg_trg_SetCamera, 0.02 )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_SetCamera, function Trig_SetCamera_Actions )
endfunction

Review for Manstie's TPCamera

This is far to simple and the Jass version is horrible
converted GUI. Furthermore there are far better systems
that do way more than this (I wouldn't call this a system, more
of an example). And to top it all off, we do not need any more
TPC systems, we have like 5!

nice but i think we got many camera systems here on the hive... But maybe you should change the function names to another instead of Func001A.
anyway it seems really user-friendly but its abit easy created ?
Anyway 3/5 for me.. :)

oh nvm the enum unit thing.
lines 135 - 136 expected variable names.
lines 137 - 143 expected names
i did have the create unknown variables thing checked

off topic: google chrome > firefox > IE

oh and btw the script errors are when i paste into my map, not when i open yours.
this isnt supposed to be vJASS is it?

Hmm... no not really...
Try disabling "Reinventing the Craft".

Plus, go download the newest JassHelper and replace it with the one in JNGS.

Try re-importing it into your map.

And just 1 thing that could affect it, but probably isn't it... are you using RoC?

If all else fails I'll give you a GUI version.

lol, i've even tried disabling EVERYTHING and getting the new jasshelper and it still doesn't work.

Can't go wrong with gui :p
Click to expand...

Some Pc's just cant. Like mine. I cant compile (save) vJass, and yes i did try with different jasshelpers and versions and so on. Disabled everything. Didnt work.

Btw, nice system. But theres a big chance for it to get rejected like my system.
The message was "Theres allready 6 of these".

This is way too simple to get approved, also I'm pretty sure it doesn't work on bridges. (Although I didn't test it)
Click to expand...
It does, I'm using it on my RPG and it has a (BIG) bridge, and it works on that.

So much systems that already exist...

Why not do us a favor and make something interesting? :p

No offense, this isn't pointed at you but there are already several systems like this one, why did you made another one? :p
Click to expand...
Because its the best one for newbs, its not complex at all, and easy to use.
You can see the result:
