Help with cameras...

[Yosh]

Hello. New here but I've been messing around with the editor for a while now. I've made a singleplayer RPGish map based in a burnt out Lordaeron city in the style of resident evil etc. The player only controls one hero - a humble blacksmith - and other allies are computer controlled via triggers. I'm having no trouble so far except with my cameras.

I've got the whole map set out in a system of region-camera triggers so that the camera switches instantly when the blacksmith enters the region. The problem is, I can't disable the ins/mousewheel/arrow key camera movement ingame - the player can move the camera about. It's not a huge problem but if anyone has any ideas it would be hugely appreciated.

If you lock the camera to a unit, you can't use the arrow keys, but otherwise there's no easy way. You can keep setting the camera and it'll start to move with the mouse wheel but snap right back...

Hmm. I've locked the camera to the player. So now it switches when you're about to go out of shot, and then tracks from the next region - if that makes sense. Works pretty well. I suppose if I wanted the camera to stay centred on the region I'd have to put an invisible unit in the middle which didn't block pathing.


Another question - if anyone knows - is it possible to get a skinless humanoid texture so that I can place weapon attachments and get the effect of a poltergeist weilding weapons?

Thanks.
