im trying to make an rpg map, and what im trying to do is make the camera rotate around the unit (its hard for me to explain stuff). I have the camera locked on the hero but i just dont want the camera to be like how it is in warchasers. If you see the attachment then i DONT want it like that. i want it to be behind them, but not 3d person.

You will need to use a trigger run generically every 0.03-0.05 seconds to update camera positions.

Overall not recomended as WC3 is not made for advanced camera modes. Often such camera modes make it hard to play as it stops one for seeing clearly and also makes it hard to target something. In multiplayer the effects are worsened by the delay between the host and the other players.

In WE give us an example of what you are after so we have a better idea of what you want.

Try the camera system that already exists here in the hive. You can customize it as well to what you want. Try it! I used it before in some of my projects and I assure you it's very useful and remember that you can always change it a bit if you don't like the result. It's customizeable!!!!!!!!!! (But give credits to the one who made it) If you need any more help just post!
