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?
Code:
Init
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set HeroPicks[1] = Pit Lord 0005 <gen>
        Set HeroPicks[2] = Dark Ranger 0006 <gen>
        Set HeroPicks[3] = Lich 0008 <gen>
        Set HeroPicks[4] = Firelord 0007 <gen>
        Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players)
        Cinematic - Enable user control for (All players)
        Cinematic - Fade in over 3.00 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
        Game - Display to (All players) for 15.00 seconds the text: |cff00ff00Hint|r - ...
        Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Camera - Apply PickHeroCam <gen> for (Picked player) over 0.00 seconds
                Set currentHeroSelected[(Player number of (Picked player))] = 1
                Selection - Select HeroPicks[currentHeroSelected[(Player number of (Picked player))]] for (Picked player)
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        And - All (Conditions) are true
                            Conditions
                                ((Picked player) slot status) Equal to Is playing
                                ((Picked player) controller) Equal to User
                    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
Code:
Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Camera - Lock camera target for ThePlayersYouWant to (HeroChooser), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation
 
I don't have Dodger of Sheep. Anywhere I can download it?

EDIT:
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

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

Brb google.
 
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. :D

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
