Hi,

My idea:

Variables:

Distance - variable of type 'real'
Temp_Point - variable of type 'point'
Dummy - variable of type 'unit'
CAMERA - camera made in 'camera palette' in WE
DUMMY_UNIT - type of unit
HERO - this funny guy from Your Paint drawing

• Trigger #1
  • Events
    • Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Distance = 100
    • Set Temp_Point = ((Position of HERO) offset by Distance towards (Facing of (HERO)) degrees)
    • Unit - Create 1 DUMMY_UNIT for Player(Red) at Temp_Point facing default orientation degrees
    • Set Dummy = Last created unit
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)
    • Camera - Apply CAMERA for Player(Red) over 0.00 seconds
    • Camera - Lock camera target for Player(Red) to Dummy, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using default rotation

• Trigger #2
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Point = ((Position of HERO) offset by Distance towards (Facing of (HERO)) degrees)
    • Unit - Move Dummy instantly to Temp_Point
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)

Made from scratch (for You <3).

You just need to adjust 'Distance' variable to model of your 'HERO'.


I can make it multiplayer-friendly if You want. Just tell me.

Good luck!

It should work fine IMO.

You can do this without needing a dummy unit. I have a camera that does this exact thing in one of my maps. I'm not at home at the moment or I would post it. If you'd like, I can post it later on when I get home.

Thanks for wasting ~20 minutes of my life!

You change position of camera every time, right?

each time he turn the camera rotates with him (the hero)

and it's a multiplayer map ofc
