Third Person Movement + Camera 1.03

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
A simple system I made that puts you deep into the action of WC3.
Control the movement of a unit with the arrow keys and enjoy the third-person camera.

Changelog:
1.01:
Fixed the problem with MPI.
Improved Camera. Height now changes with terrain, and turning is smoother.
Changed Down arrow to be backwards movement instead of 180 degree turn.

1.02:
Improved camera further. Now height is only messy at extreme altitudes.
Camera now adjusts Angle of Attack to match terrain.
Some support for walk animations with different Animation Integers.

1.03:
Improved movement triggers. Added pathing check to remove buggy movement.
Improved Camera height adjustment.
Added customizability to speeds (movement forward and backward, turning rate).
Improved user-friendliness and made it easier to import.

Keywords:

Maker: You have improved the system but it still has flaws.
I can get the unit to move forward and backwards without the walk
animation playing. Running on destructables and cliffs causes the unit
to bounce here and there.
The unit disappears from the camera on lowered ground

You use 'TmpInt' in loops for max player number, but if one slot is unused, last player would not get looped. So better loop from 1-12 and then you can make a check.

You forgot about Z-coordinate when you set your cam-height. At the moment you set it to a constant value. If you would like to pass a hilly area for example the cam would stay at it's height.
Also you should add a periodic event at your camera trigger, because otherwise players are able to change the view.

When you often use 'picked unit' it's better to use tmpunit variable as refrerence.

@SecondHand, your link shows a good system.. but this one is GUI - but atm need some improvements for me. But gl :thumbs_up:

Updates galore!
Fixed the problem with MPI.
Improved Camera. Height now changes with terrain, and turning is smoother.
Changed Down arrow to be backwards movement instead of 180 degree turn.

The height now changes with terrain, but it is still problematic. At high altitudes it changes too much, causing the unit to dissapear from the field of view.
How to fix?

Triggers, ho!:

  • Initialization

      • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
    • Conditions

      • Set ActivePlayers = (All players matching (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing))
      • Set TempPoint = (Random point in Region 000 <gen>)
      • Player Group - Pick every player in ActivePlayers and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Picked player) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
          • Set UnitOfPlayer[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Last created unit)

          • Camera - Lock camera target for (Picked player) to TempUnit, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation
          • Camera - Set (Picked player)'s camera Angle of attack to 345.00 over 0.10 seconds
          • Camera - Set (Picked player)'s camera Distance to target to 600.00 over 0.10 seconds
          • Camera - Set (Picked player)'s camera Height Offset to (TempReal + 100.00) over 0.10 seconds
          • Camera - Set (Picked player)'s camera Rotation to (Facing of TempUnit) over 0.10 seconds
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
That's it. That's the entire camera.

Something like this?

      • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set ActivePlayers = (All players matching (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing))
      • Set TempPoint = (Random point in Region 000 <gen>)
      • Player Group - Pick every player in ActivePlayers and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set TempInt = (Player number of (Picked player))
          • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Picked player) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
          • Unit - Create 1 Demon Hunter for (Picked player) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
          • Set UnitOfPlayer[TempInt] = (Last created unit)
          • Set TempUnit = (Last created unit)
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions

              • Set AnimationOfPlayer[TempInt] = 8
            • Else - Actions
And of course, change in the movement triggers:
  • Actions
    • Set TempInt = (Player number of (Triggering player))
    • Set TempUnit = UnitOfPlayer[TempInt]
    • Set TempInt2 = AnimationOfPlayer[TempInt]
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_TempUnit, udg_TempInt2)
What about the camera?

EDIT:
New update, new triggers:
Somewhat local to the test map. Will improve this to make it easier to import.

Check out my camera movement system and see if the functionality compares to it.

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...0-1-a-239423/?prev=status=a&u=deathismyfriend

Sorry i can't test it myself.

Mine has a lot of different ways to customize. It is not only 3rd person it can do 1st person as well. It allows for changing of angle of attack, height, roll. It can have different modes for each player. Allowing full control to the map maker or to the players. It can also limit control to each player individually. There are a few other things it can do as well.

-You seem to be leaking CP_Point
-You don't necessarily set MovPoint2 but you always remove it
-Try using only CP_Point, not MovPoint2

I realize the leak now that you point it out.
I'll look into these points.

-As you check pathing with the item method, there is necessarily no need to rely in setting unit position instantly. That also does pathing check. Try SetUnitX/Y instead

That makes sense. I just never think of using custom scripts like those unless someone points it out :p

I'll update soon!
