3rd person trigger

[CMEPTb]

how to make a trigger that has 3rd person camera mode like in legacies tides of serpent

 

[ShadowXmakeR]

First Create a real variable named ANGLE.
And a camera anywhere on the map, with similar properties:

Name: ThirdPersonCam
Target Z: 70
Angle of Attack: 350.00
Distance: 400
Field of View: 100.00
(you dont have to edit the other properties)

Now, create two triggers and name them DegreeCheck and
LockCamera

In LockCamera you make these actions:

EVENT
Map Initalization

CONDITIONS

ACTIONS
Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to Footman 0001, offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

In DegreeCheck you make these actions:

EVENT
Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time

CONDITIONS

ACTIONS
Set ANGLE = (Facing of Footman 0001)

Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Distance to target to (Distance to target of ThirdPersonCam <gen>) over 1.00 seconds

Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Field of view to (Field of view of ThirdPersonCam <gen>) over 1.00 seconds

Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Height Offset to (Height Offset of ThirdPersonCam <gen>) over 1.00 seconds

Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to Angle over 1.00 seconds

Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Angle of attack to (Angle of attack of ThirdPersonCam <gen>) over 1.00 seconds


Thats it, now when you Test the map you will see the "Footman 0001" in third person view and the camera will follow him from behind.

you could also look in the free trigger code thread.

 

[CMEPTb]

in free trigger code i didnt quite get it how to make it
how you do that all units of player 1 red will have this abillity even after hero select

 

[CMEPTb]

nevermind i figured out by myself

 

[Mind]

I would not use the "lock camera orientation to unit" action. It makes the camera too annoying.
