Left/Right Arrow Issues

[NaPzt3R]

I've made a hero-picking system for my map, and it works fine. Except that the camera moves as you press the left and right arrow keys.
Is there a way to lock the camera and still have cinematic mode on, without affecting the user control?

                    Then - Actions
                        Set isPickingHero[(Player number of (Picked player))] = True
                    Else - Actions
                        Set isPickingHero[(Player number of (Picked player))] = False

I have 2 additional triggers. If you want me to post them, just tell me.


+rep to anyone who can give me the right answer.

have you looked at the "dodger of sheep" origional scenario created by blizzard that should be there after you've installed warcraft?

Anyways, it that they have a trigger for the sole purpose of pushing a button, and it moves the hero and camera in that direction. So perhaps you can try to do something like that.

Or another simpler and less awesome way to do it is to have a trigger on loop for every .2 sec (or w/e) and make that trigger revert the camera back onto the heros.

i think there's an action that locks the camera, so they can't move it even if they wanted to, then you can turn it off after they get a hero
EDIT: i never tried this action, so it might not work, but in some games i've played, they did lock the camera

I don't have Dodger of Sheep. Anywhere I can download it?

There is Camera - Stop, but it doesn't work.

I dont know why you wouldnt have it... try going to Warcraft III / maps / scenerios / (1)Death Sheep

but you can try google and i bet you'll find it if you are good at searching for stuff.

 

[NaPzt3R]

I think I deleted it once. I don't have Warchasers either.

Brb google.

You can lock it to a unit....

Good idea. I'll make a dummy in the middle and lock the camera to that.

well you could lock the camera to the position of the hero when pressing the arrow keys.

once i heard its possible to enable cinematic mode and to activate a players game interface again, you might want to try that out although i am not sure it will work.

Locking it to a unit worked. Thanks guys, you just saved my map.
