Problem with Camera Trigger

[nome]

Well, I have a trigger that it's supposed to follow the player unit and rotate and everything..
It works only for the "choose hero" part of the map.. (which is the first part)
but when the chosen hero is created and placed where it belongs, right after being chosen, the camera get's locked or something. It just stay in the "hero selection" area of the map..
I'll paste the code here.. I hope someone can help me with this..

    • Player Group - Pick every player in Player Group - Player 2 (Blue) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

You can make it even easier:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit sells a unit
• Conditions
  • ((Sold unit) is a Hero) Equal to True
• Actions
  • Set PlayersHero[Player number of (Owner of (Sold unit))] = (Sold unit)
  • Player Group - Add (Owner of (Sold unit)) to CameraGroup
  • Trigger - Turn on Trig <gen>
  • Camera - Lock camera target for (Owner of (Sold unit)) to PlayersHero[(Player number of (Owner of (Sold unit)))], offset by (0.00, 0.00) using The unit's rotation

• Trig
• Events
  • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Number of players in CameraGroup) Greater than 0
    • Then - Actions
      • Player Group - Pick every player in CameraGroup and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Camera - Set (Picked player)'s camera Rotation to (Facing of PlayersHero[(Player number of (Picked player))]) over 0.00 seconds
    • Else - Actions
      • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

But, to your problem, you are using "Camera - Apply Camera 001 <gen>", which is a static camera and you periodically set the players' camera at that spot.

what type of variable is CameraGroup? Player Group not array?
if i'm periodically setting the camera at the units position, shouldn't it work??
how can i make it work with what i have?

Yes, Player Group, non-array-d.
Locking the camera once on the unit won't release the camera.
Use the triggers I gave you or make the correction I told you about.

great now the camera turns as the player moves
i only had to add the

• Camera - Lock camera target for (Picked player) to PlayersHero[(Player number of (Picked player))], offset by (0.00, 0.00) using The unit's rotation

and it works perfectly!!
thanks a lot pharaoh !
