Camera

Ok I am designing a D&D map for wc3. I know I can lock the camera into a certain postion. What I want to establish is a view of 3rd person, but it would be like first person as you moved down the halls of the dungeon. What I mean is on the players screen the hero would be in the middle, but it would be like you were looking down the hall. Well I know how to do this.

The delma.. Is there a way to change the angle of the camera when its in its locked position? Like when you lock the camera its only facing one direction. Well lets say you take a left around a corner. The camera would now still face the same direction, but all you would see is a wall or maybe see though the wall. Is there a way to change the camera depending on the way the unit goes? Like if the player comes to a left or right turn and if you take right the camera shifts right and visa versa for left.

I have played that first person shooter demo and that was sweet. I am wondering if this could be done. Does anyone know??

You need to set the rotation of the camera to the roation of the unit every .1 seconds or so. Its sorta like how we did it in the FPSDemo.
