Off-Camera Units

[AlexM]

How do i register a unit that is not in current screen of another player or just not in the current camera bounds.

For example if all players have a camera bound to a unit, which moves until they are not seen on it's screen.

I tried using "Unit leaves current camera bounds" but that didn't work. Instead it seemed to lock on the starting region and didn't change at all.

You can only do this if you're locking your camera to a (point/unit) or using RtC.

Well, i DO lock it to a unit by using a timer and locking camera boundary for all players to a unit. But that doesnt work. The other trigger is, "Unit Leaves Region - Current Camera Boundary - Explode leaving unit". But that doesnt happen.

check every 0.03 seconds, if a unit is in the current camera view. if not, it will explode (or your actions). Wait I try to make this with triggers

[EDIT]
well I made it with camera bounds, because there was nothing to check the current camera view.

• Camera bounds check
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • ((Current camera bounds) contains (YourUnit)) Equal to False
    • ((YourUnit) is Dead) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Unit - Explode (YourUnit)

Since you're setting teh camera to a unit you can make another trigger:


every .03 seconds
if unitX is not within x units of (locked unit) then
kill unit

hope that makes sense.
