[JASS] Need help with my Camera Trigger

[Stormgoddd]

So, I'm new to Jass, read quite a few tutorials and feel pretty sure about the basics so far. With my current knowledge, I'm trying to create a camera trigger. That trigger is supposed to zoom out the camera of the player (should work for every player) if they type in "-+500" (without the "").

This is my code so far and it gives me lots of compiler (Syntax) errors.

function CameraSetting takes nothing returns nothing
local integer p = 0

loop
    exitwhen p == 12
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent (CameraInit, Player(p), "+500", true)
    set p = p + 1
endloop
endfunction


function Init_Trg_CameraInit takes nothing returns nothing

set gg_trg_InitTrig_CameraInit = CreateTrigger()
call TriggerAddAction(Init_Trg_CameraInit,CameraSetting)

endfunction

You need to write "function" before.
call TriggerAddAction(Init_Trg_CameraInit, function CameraSetting)

Make a local trigger variable
local trigger t = CreateTrigger()

Okay, looks much better now, but still 1 error message. I just need to figure out, how to make my trigger variable t be accesible by the CameraSettings function right? Can someone help me with that?

This is my Code now :

function CameraSetting takes nothing returns nothing
local integer p = 0

loop
    exitwhen p == 12
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent (t, Player(p), "+500", true)
    set p = p + 1
endloop
endfunction


function Init_Trg_CameraInit takes nothing returns nothing

local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
call TriggerAddAction(t, function CameraSetting)

endfunction

and here the remaining error. I made a local trigger variable instead and added "function" to CameraSettings. Also added the "t" into the "whichtrigger" parameter from the TriggerAddAction function.

Just move the whole loop to the init function. The actions is the function that handles the event.

Okay, I did it like this now, after lots of trial and errors, but it still does'nt work. Nothing happens ingame, when I type +500 in chat. What am I doing wrong?

function CameraAction takes nothing returns nothing

call SetCameraFieldForPlayer(Player(0), CAMERA_FIELD_TARGET_DISTANCE, 5000.00, 0)

endfunction



function InitTrig_Camera takes nothing returns nothing
local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
local integer p = 0

loop
    exitwhen p > 9
    set p = p + 1
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent (t, Player(p), "+500", true)
endloop

call TriggerAddAction(t, function CameraAction)

endfunction

So you might want to fix the loop logics.

• Player(1) upto Player(10) are registered to the trigger.
• Player(0) is not registered, which is Player Red.

Also, instead of using Player(0) in the actions, you might just use GetTriggerPlayer(), which is the event response. It's always the player that wrote the message here.
