I have a camera system that works absolutely fine except for when the camera is rotated; the camera rotates fine however once the rotation is done the camera no longer stays locked on to the unit. Here are the triggers:

Trigger:
  • Move Unit Forwards
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Move Forwards
    • Actions
      • Set TempPoint2 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
      • Set TempPoint = (TempPoint2 offset by 1000.00 towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees)
      • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To TempPoint


Trigger:
  • Left
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Turn Left
    • Actions
      • Set TempReal = ((Facing of (Triggering unit)) + 45.00)
      • Unit - Make (Triggering unit) face TempReal over 0.00 seconds
      • Set TempPlayer = (Owner of (Triggering unit))
      • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
      • Camera - Rotate camera ((Rotation of the current camera view) + 45.00) degrees around TempPoint for TempPlayer over 2.00 seconds


Trigger:
  • Right
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Turn Right
    • Actions
      • Set TempReal = ((Facing of (Triggering unit)) - 45.00)
      • Unit - Make (Triggering unit) face TempReal over 0.00 seconds
      • Set TempPlayer = (Owner of (Triggering unit))
      • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
      • Camera - Rotate camera ((Rotation of the current camera view) - 45.00) degrees around TempPoint for TempPlayer over 2.00 seconds



Trigger:
  • Init Camera
    • Events
      • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.20 seconds
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)

          • Camera - Apply Ingame Cam <gen> for (Player((Integer A))) over 0.00 seconds
          • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Player((Integer A))) of type Man) and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Camera - Lock camera target for (Player((Integer A))) to (Picked unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation
              • Wait 2.00 seconds
              • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
              • Camera - Rotate camera (Facing of (Picked unit)) degrees around TempPoint for (Player((Integer A))) over 0.50 seconds



Trigger:
  • Keep Locked
    • Events
      • Time - Every 0.70 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)

          • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Player((Integer A))) of type Man) and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Camera - Lock camera target for (Player((Integer A))) to (Picked unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation


Does anyone have any idea why this is? It has me completely stumped right now. :-/

>Camera - Lock camera target for (Player((Integer A))) to (Picked unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

You could perhaps, set everybodys camera rotation to a real array and do

Camera - Lock camera target for (Player((Integer A))) to (Picked unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using PlayerRotation[(Integer A)]

This will make it turn instantly though, unless you changed their rotation gradually in the left and right triggers.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
