Is it possible through any Jass or GUI to get the X/Y of a Players Current camera target? :confused:

I'm not entirely sure how GetCameraTargetX/GetCameraTargetY works, it doesn't take a player, maybe just grabs an average value? :nuts:

So, would it be possible to move a unit instantly to the direct target of Player Ones view, and his/her view alone? :confused:
 
GetCameraTargetPositionX
GetCameraTargetPositionY
GetCameraTargetPositionZ

Well, they response to the event of the triggering player.

Yes.
 
So.. for me to be able to use those commands a player would have to trigger this trigger? So I couldn't just use a trigger that repeats every 0.15 seconds or so?

I don't have WE here right now, but those functions should just take something (like a location/unit/player) and all you need to do to use this is to pass them the correct argument.
 
Those natives will return a different value for every player. They do not take a player argument, but the value they return on Player 1's computer will be different to the value on Player 2's computer. Thus you must treat them the same way as if you were using a GetLocalPlayer() block. That means you can't move a unit to that position or it will desync.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
