I'm trying to get it so that the camera is put 32 units in front of "MoveUnit" and i have the camera script line that's giving me problems right here.
Code: 
call SetCameraTargetControllerNoZForPlayer( Player (currentPlayer), udg_MoveUnit[currentPlayer + 1], 0, 0, true )
how would I get it so that it is just in front of the unit?
 
How would i incorporate that into the camera trigger though?
My problem was that it has only spots for the x and y axises no polar offset.
 
Hm... the simplest is probably to move a dummy unit at that spot and lock the camera on the dummy.


Other than that, well, there's some formulas:
x = distance * cosine(facing of unit)
y = distance * sine(facing of unit)

I have no idea though whether those produce the correct results in all 4 quadrants...
 
okay, I give up trying to do this on my own. Can anyone figure out why this isnt working? Its supposed to make the camera just in front of the unit at all times, but it doesnt work, it sometimes make the camera go underground, and sometimes over the walls, also with this on the hero wont move anymore, I think it has something to do with the actual camera dummy unit but its been giving me problems also.

Also, heres the movement triggers if that helps.

        set currentPosition = GetUnitLoc(currentUnit)
        if udg_MoveActiveLeft[currentPlayer] then
        set offset = 20.0
        elseif udg_MoveActiveRight[currentPlayer] then
        set offset = -20.0

The variables i have in gui are: CameraUnit-Unit Array[10]-none-, MoveActive-boolian array[10]-false-, MoveActiveLeft-boolian array[10]-false-, MoveActiveRight-boolian array[10]-false-, MoveUnit-unit array[10]-none-.

if someone actually reads all of that and has an answer, I would greatly appreciate it.

EDIT: Also, theres a problem with going foreward right and foreward left. Its under the "Hero Movement" part.
 
My God...you expect someone to read ALL that? :p

-Ghoulfrenzy
 
I hope for someone to, I've been failing at getting this to work properly for days now. (the camera part at least)

You guys, thanks to whoever actually read all that but I GOT IT TO WORK!!! I cant believe that that entire time its because I set the unit for cameraUnit to the maring and the unit for moveUnit to the camera dummy...

Also, is there a way to set the camera Z offset? Its a little too close to the ground.

    Mayo also has vinegar. Vinegar is a very important part of it, it's effectively a delivery method FOR vinegar but hidden

    It's a neat ingredient. But yeah it's eggs. But a LOT of people think eggs count as dairy because of the fucking food pyramid the US keeps trying to make a thing

    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.

    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense

    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
