Stick camera to a unit

[Inaltu]

Trying to make a camera stick to a unit and also follow its facing. My trigg looks like :

• Camera Forwoard
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing cf as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Camera - Apply Ground View <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds
    • Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to Chicken 0002 <gen>, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using The unit's rotation

Still this doesnt work it doesnt follow the units rotation

  • this is the trigg in the map can someone tell me how i can copy this to mine and what im missing ?
• The point is i need it to work like this when i send a text msg it should pan to 1 of 4 units depending on the msg. And i will need a trigg to simply disable it...

Read the whole thread... I think in the map, it might include more details but I'm not sure..

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

its simple! use all the "Ground thingys, something of attack, distance to target' and so on things, try experiment, or go look at either the flying system or the first person movement system located here on the site.

in case you haven't figured it out and none else has answered somewhere else(after 4 months )

• Camera Forwoard
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing cf as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Camera - Apply Ground View <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds
    • Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to Chicken 0002 <gen>, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using The unit's rotation
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to (Facing of Chicken 0002) over 0.00 seconds

Unfortunately, it doesn't lock the Camera's rotation to the unit (which I think you are trying to do), So you will have to do

• Camera Forwoard
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing cf as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Camera - Apply Ground View <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds
    • Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to Chicken 0002 <gen>, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using The unit's rotation
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to (Facing of Chicken 0002) over 0.00 seconds
    • Set CameraForwoardActive = True

• Camera Forwoard lock
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • CameraForwoardActive Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to (Facing of Chicken 0002) over 0.00 seconds

And when you want it to stop doing this, put in some other trigger that changes CameraForwoardActive to false and resets the players camera.

omg thread necromancy!
