Selection System.

[VoRteX]

Is there any systems out there like this:
There are 4 areas, all are of different races, the race camera shows the area and the heroes available for selection. Pressing Left/Right will pan camera to race on left/right. Press ESC to choose race, then, on the race you have selected it will zoom up to one of the Heroes, showing details about that hero. Pressing Left/right will pan camera to only those heroes in that certain race.

btw ive spent about 3 hours on trying to create one but im not very experienced in triggering this kind of thing.

Where are you having problems? The only hard part I could imagine would be getting the zoom and camera angled just how you want it.

 

[jig7c]

there is not system that does what you want specifically...
post your triggers here and then we can definetly help you...

im assuming when the game begins, you are taken to a selection process where you start off with picking a race, and then you pick a hero from there right?

 

[VoRteX]

Yeah sorta ^^
Its more like viewing the race you wish to choose and then when you press ESC it zooms into the heroes belonging to that race and you can choose a hero after it has zoomed in ^^
So heres my trigger so far, im sure there is a few different variations on how to do this but heres my attempt: (i got to changing race cameras left and right, but it didnt turn out how i liked, then i sorta gave up after not being able to find why it didnt work)

Cheers if you can help out
EDIT: Long post much ikr

What do you not like about the outcome?

At a glimpse, you could easily optimize the conditions for each direction into one trigger and move the similar actions out of the if statements.

 

[VoRteX]

As i said im not really any good at triggering and this is just my attempt at it, the outcome was that you could view the 4 races but you could only change direction of the panning on the 4th or 1st race, which isnt what im trying to do. But you seem to know what you are doing why dont you try fix my trigger for me ^^

thanks for the reply
