Modifying Camera height

darkwulfv	Okay, so I want my players to have their camera slightly above the normal default, but i also want it to auto-fix should they accidentally scroll in. However, I can't find any action that modifies camera height without also moving it. What do I use to make the camera only move up when necessary (to X height), without also modifying its current view?

TotallyAwesome	SetCameraField, just use ZOFFSET

Fledermaus	And use a periodic timer to keep setting the ZOFFSET.

darkwulfv	Hmm... I think I should've added that I'm referring to the game camera, not a specific camera. Ooops. However, nonetheless, SetCameraField didn't seem to have a z-offset field. It just took a camera, a value, and a duration. EDIT: Nevermind, Toadcop's link (you should've said to look at the second post...) got me what I needed. Now to test.

Bobo_The_Kodo	... JASS: call SetCameraField( CAMERA_FIELD_Z_OFFSET, 100000000000, 0. ) //uber far zoom out

darkwulfv	Yeah, but after doing some reading I guess the z value can get wonked out, so I'm just gonna use TC's function since it seems reliable enough.

Anitarf	It only gets moothed out over uneven terrain, I don't think it matters in your case.
