Joker	How do you force a player to select a unit, but the player is not able to pan their camera on that unit?

Ammorth	With triggers via Set Camera Target Controller (gui) or SetCameraTarget (jass). To select, just use Select Unit For Player in a periodic trigger.

Joker	JASS: native SetCameraTargetController takes unit whichUnit, real xoffset, real yoffset, boolean inheritOrientation returns nothing What is that?

Kwah	Will it keep the same angle from before, ie: if the camera is looking in at a point from the outside of a circle from 50 degrees, will it reset to zero or not. That's just my guess.

Ammorth	I believe it doesn't work as intended (or atleast how I would think it should work). Just set it to false.

Monstah	Are you talking about inheritOrientation? Never worked for me either, but you can call JASS: call SetCameraField(CAMERA_FIELD_ROTATION, GetUnitFacing(your_unit_here)) Or something like that.
