First Person Camera

Events
Unit - A unit enters Spawn Hero <gen>

Trigger - Add to (This trigger) the event (Time - Every 0.00 seconds of game time)
Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to (Facing of (Triggering unit)) over 0.00 seconds

Alright then, I'm attempting to make a "first person MMO" for WC3. I've never been good at scripting or very complex triggers, or even variables. So, I realize my triggers are extremely confusing and stupid but I normally get the job done. But apparently this trigger causes WC3 to freeze.

The goal is to have every player select a hero of their choice at a normal camera height and angle from a few taverns. Once the hero is created its moved to a different location and the camera view should shift downward to their vantage point, a set height, and turn when they do facing what they are. The problem I am having is the facing what they are part.

Angle
Events
Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Angle of attack to -30.00 over 0.00 seconds
Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Distance to target to 800.00 over 0.00 seconds

This trigger is initially turned off and turned on in this trigger..

Turn On
Events
Unit - A unit enters Spawn Hero <gen>
Conditions
((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)) and (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)
Actions
Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to (Triggering unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using The unit's rotation
Trigger - Turn on Angle <gen>

So, if you can read this and have followed me.. congrats. But ovbiously in the second trigger listed as "Angle" you can't tell the computer to "Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to (Facing of (Triggering unit)) over 0.00 seconds" because their was no action that a triggering unit spawned.

And again, if you have followed me great. If you haven't that's okay too. But I am asking for help in solving my problem. Please! If you know a way around this, I would love to hear from you.

Oh and, THANKS!

Disable player control of camera? I think it is a cinematic action.

That didn't work, it also hides the mouse and such.

Anyone have any ideas at all? Or if you know of a post that might help, hit me up.

this thread is pretty old, chances are low you will get any answer from these guys.

however what you need is to get the Z coordinate of your heroes positions.
(there is no GUI action for this, what you need is jass)
and then you can set the camera height to that value.
