Selected Unit, Camera Lock.

[Teknonick]

I need a trigger that can make it so when I type -LockCam, it locks the camera onto the trigger unit of my choise, would also like one that turns when he does, and one that dosn't...
ANY help would earn you a +1 Thanks! !!!!

easy make a global unit variable MY_UNIT (if you have only 1 unit)

• Event
  • Player - Selects a Unit
• Actions
  • Set MY_UNIT = TriggerUnit

• Event
  • Player - chat message blahhh
• Actions
  • Camera - Lock Camera Target to Unit MY_UNIT

I don't have only one unit at first I do, but I will train more.. And might want to disable the Lock.... I want it so I can select a unit, then lock onto the one I selected...

 

[mckill2009]

from the trigger above you can lock it to ANY UNIT as long as MY_UNIT is not used by
other players...

If you do what mckill stated, you are done with your problem.
Basically what that trigger does is when you select a unit, a variable of unit is set to that unit.
And another trigger will fire off that will lock your camera to the last selected unit, you selected (mouse-pick / drag-select).
But that will work for only one unit, if multiple of units, how do you want to lock all of them ?
It makes no sense.

mckill, try add an array (edit the post) to the variable (Player number of (Triggering player)), that will become MPI, perhaps his map is multiplayer ?

It will work, All I have to do is make different triggers for each player... Right???

Yea, okay I got it working! I created the trigger over and over, and made it an array! It works now, AND only follows the unit, if YOU own it! I plan on releasing this map once I finish it, or get it to a playable state... (Unlike my other maps) Its an evolution map, where you start out as a molecule, and evolve into bigger things, and into different elements! If you want... Thanks for the help guys!

Teknonick, you don't have to create several triggers.

Add all the players to the event, and MY_UNIT[Player number of (Triggering Player)
