pan camera back / multiple players

[mirrorman1de]

Hi,
simple task, I guess:

4 player RPG map. I want all players to watch an event (unit transmission). So I pause all units, pan players' cameras to a specific point and start transmission. But now I'm having trouble to pan cameras back, since I dont want the players to search for their units. Is there a simple way to store the coordinates of all players current camera views?

The only way I can store a view is by

• Set X = Target of (Current Camera)

but I cannot specify whose player's cam I want.

Any ideas?

• Camera - Pan camera for Player X to (Position of Unit X) over 0.00 seconds

just do this with an array and store the units before...easiest way i would say ^^

What unit? Cameras are not locked to units. Players can scroll around. But I want the cams to pan back to the views of each individual player after the transmission ended.

then pan camara to coordinates or location or whatever you like.

camera position is async value, you can only know YOUR machine camera data, soo any checks for camera will desync game.

Set the units to a unit array variable?
At the beggining of the game, when creating the units for the players, set them to the variable.
Then, when the cinematic is finished, do For Each Integer A... and Pan camera for Player Integer A to Unit Variable[Integer A]....

I know how to get coordinates from units, that is not the point. The problem is, how do I know which units player 1-4 are watching when cinematic starts? Maybe they arent watching a unit at all ... so I need the coords of the point they are watching. But there is no funktion like

• Set focus_player_1 = Target of(current camera) of (Player 1)

That is why I cannot set a variable. It can't be that tough. It's just a point I need to store.

you need to use "GetLocalPlayer" for this, that means at least some Jass lines.
