Why do it that way? I would do this:

Set PlayerGroup = all players
Player Group - Pick all players in PlayerGroup and do actions
- loop actions
- Camera - Set Picked Player's camera Distance to target to 1500.00 over 3.00 seconds
- Camera - Pan camera for Picked Player to TempPoint over 3.00 seconds
- Camera - Set Picked Player's camera Angle of attack to (Angle of attack of Final Wave Hero 1 Camera <gen>) over 2.00 seconds
- Camera - Set Picked Player's camera Rotation to 180.00 over 3.00 seconds
Custom script: call DestroyForce (udg_PlayerGroup)

The rest of the trigger works?

"All Players" is not a leak!
Never remove it, because it will mess everything up later (you're actually removing the group "All Players" so you can never access it in the future again).
Also, it's actually the exact same thing, just with a player group instead of a loop.

Can you put a message there to see if the loop is actually running and whether Integer A is correct? (Though it should be, Warcraft can't run 2 things at the same time).
The only thing I'm a bit annoyed by is that you never remove the leak "TempPoint" at the end.

Oh yeah, I forgot about it xD, I'll test with debug msg now and then reply if works

yes, the rest works perfectly the way I want except those 2 aactions..

yes, the loop does run(message does display, but camera doesn't rotates...)

ap0calypse · Oct 7, 2012

Please do not multi-post (you could've easily covered all those messages in just 1 post).

I just tried doing something like this myself, the action "Rotate around point" locks the camera in place, making it unable to set any field values until you pan the camera again.
The fix is actually really easy, except that you made it a bit harder because you set TempPoint at places where you shouldn't set it.

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
- Loop - Actions
  - Camera - Pan camera for (Player((Integer A))) to TempPoint over 0.00 seconds
  - Camera - Set (Player((Integer A)))'s camera Rotation to -270.00 over 3.00 seconds

The "TempPoint" in this action is the TempPoint that was used in the previous rotation (rotate 360 degrees).

BloodDrunk · Oct 7, 2012

I didn't completely understand you now, what exactly do I need to change?

ap0calypse · Oct 7, 2012

Well, basically the action

Camera - Rotate camera 360.00 degrees around TempPoint for (Player((Integer A))) over 5.00 seconds

messes up the action you were having problems with.

To reset the camera (so it can rotate again), you add the action

Camera - Pan camera for (Player((Integer A))) to TempPoint over 0.00 seconds

In front of your failing action (as seen in my previous post).
The "TempPoint" here is the same location as in the action at the top of this post.

BloodDrunk · Oct 7, 2012

but why then it doesn't screwes it at the first 2 rotations?

ap0calypse · Oct 7, 2012

The_blood said:

There's actually only 1 rotation before that, but if you count in all other rotations: the one that's causing trouble is the only rotation where you did not use "Pan camera" before changing a field value.
For all the other rotations, you pan the camera after the rotation.

BloodDrunk · Oct 7, 2012

ahhh, ok then, thanks for help

, rep ofc

I completely lost myself again and it's not working again. I updated the trigger in my first post, check it again and see what's wrong now. And I removed the 360 rotation.

ap0calypse · Oct 7, 2012

Is it still the same part that is bugging?
If so, can I perhaps get the map so I can search for it myself? I did only test a small portion of the trigger, so maybe there are multiple causes.

BloodDrunk · Oct 7, 2012

ok, sure, just gimme few mins to do some things, then I'll post it
