Some kind of over-the-shoulder view

[Bboy Moose]

Am i able to make some kind of over-the-shoulder view (not too close though) when the camera is locked to the target unit? Camera should be unable to rotate though...

Like, everywhere the unit goes, the camera turns with him, i guess you guys know how an over-the-shoulder view looks like

Thanks for the help, and yeah sorry for these topics, but my knowledge with the world editor is a lil...low...when it comes to these things

Don't use lock camera.

You need to make a looping trigger that (every 0.03 seconds) moves the camera to behind the unit, facing the unit's facing angle.

I was coding this system for quite some time, perhaps I would release it.
Do you mean camera like Resident Evil 4 ad beyond ?

@rulerofiron: Going to try it, thank you

@defskull: I didn't play Resident Evil 4 but i looked through some pics, yeah, something like that but not that close to the unit.

• Events
  • Time - every 0.03 seconds of game time
• Conditions
  • none
• Actions
  • Set tempPoint = position of hero
  • Camera - pan camera for player to tempPoint over 0.05 seconds
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint)
  • Camera - set camera rotation for player to (facing angle of hero) over 0.05 seconds
  • Camera - set camera angle of attack for player to 345 over 0.05 seconds

Experiment with different values for angle of attack, and try the other camera fields as well.

Here's a test map.
