Camera Locking on unit

[Questioneer]

So when you start the game a dialog pop ups, you choose your hero. Then you appear at the set region I created. But I want the camera to go first person for the hero. (it's a multiplayer game, 10 people), and it follows the hero around, moves in the direction the hero moves. How would I do this?

first of all its impossible to get warcraft 3 camera to 1st person view ...2nd the camera u want is 3rd person perspective? similar to tomb raider?

so which ever way your hero is facing your camera would be facing, very easy to do, heres a simple trigger.

Events: 
Unit - A unit is issued an order targeting a point

Conditions
((triggering unit) is A HERO) Equal to True

Actions : 
Camera - LOck camera for (owner of (triggering Unit)) to (triggering unit). by (0.00, 0.00) using default rotation

Camera -set ( owner of tringgering unit))'s Camera distance to target to 1100.00 over 2 secs

Camera -set (owner of (triggering unit))'s camera angle of attack to 340.00 over 2 secs

Wait 0.5 game-time secs

Camera - set (ownering of (triggering unit))'s camera rotation to (facing of (triggering unit)) over 0.5 secs

the wait .5 sec is very important, adjust the camera distance if u want the camera closer or further away from unit...this is 3rd personperspective. good luck!
