Preventing Camera Zoom Resets

[Daethz]

I really want to get rid of this "every seconds of game time" crud, is there any way to prevent the camera from resetting when someone hits their scroll wheel, and ideally, angling/scrolling at the correct distance?

Doubt that.

Maybe with UI frames, a scroll wheel that takes focus away? Dunno, I feel like I've tried to do this before but couldn't find a solution.

Warcraft 3 can only do so much... and don't expect any changes in the future

@Aniki discovered this cool trick: [vJASS] - LockedCamera
Edit: Actually now I'm not sure you can apply it to lock distance only, while allowing mouse normal mouse interactions. Have you some locking location to a unit or something, then it should work for sure. Else, and if does lock too much for you, you might try similar method but merely use SetCamDistance over huge amount of time instead of PanCamera. I'm not sure if it works
