third person camera help

[cornonthecob]

i found a video on how to make a 3rd person cam on youtube, it helped but now i want to know how to change the 3rd person cam from one unit to another. Okay i have the 3rd person camera on the "hero selector (wisp)" and when i choose a hero the camera just goes back into the regular viewing state. Can anyone solve my problem?

          • If - Conditions
            • Player_Boolean[(Integer A)] Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Temp_Integer_1 = (Temp_Integer_1 + 1)
          • Else - Actions
            • Camera - Set (Player((Integer A)))'s camera Distance to target to 1200.00 over 0.10 seconds
            • Camera - Set (Player((Integer A)))'s camera Angle of attack to 260.00 over 0.10 seconds
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Temp_Integer_1 Equal to (Number of players in (All players controlled by a User player))
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        • Trigger - Turn off Untitled Trigger 007 <gen>
      • Else - Actions

This way it only works once for every player. Modify as is needed.

Your camera trigger won't work since there is no triggering unit.

The unit types are unit types of your units.

in the first trigger "selection", 2nd action it "(camera)" a variable for the camera trigger? if so howd you put brackets

 

[Maker]

No, it's not a variable, it's the other trigger that adjusts those camera thingies.
