DanThanh	-Sometimes my camera just automatically pan to a black area on the map and i lost track of my Hero. How nasty it is, do you have any clue about the cause ?

For panning camera, i always use this:

JASS:

local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
local player p = GetOwningPlayer(u)

call SetUnitPosition(u, GetRectCenterX(gg_rct_JinPort), GetRectCenterY(gg_rct_JinPort))
if (GetLocalPlayer() == p) then
  call PanCameraToTimed(GetRectCenterX(gg_rct_JinPort),GetRectCenterY(gg_rct_JinPort), 0.)
endif

endif

if you want to pan a camera to an position, use

JASS:

globals
unit array dummies
boolean array panned
endglobals

function PanCam takes real x, real y, player p returns nothing
local integer id=GetPlayerId(p)
if panned[id] then
call SetUnitX(dummies[id],x)
call SetUnitY(dummies[id],y)
else
if dummies[id]==null then
//create new
set dummies[id]=CreateUnit(Player(15),'hpea',x,y,0.0)
call PauseUnit(dummies[id],true)
call ShowUnit(dummies[id],false)
call UnitAddAbility(dummies[id],'Aloc')
else
//move old
call SetUnitX(dummies[id],x)
call SetUnitY(dummies[id],y)
endif
set panned[id]=true
if GetLocalPlayer()==p then
call SetCameraTargetController(dummies[id],0.0,0.0,true)
endif
endif
endfunction

function UnpanCam takes player p returns nothing
if GetLocalPlayer()==p then
call SetCameraTargetController(null,0.0,0.0,true)
set panned[id]=false
endif
endfunction

call SetCameraTargetController(null,0.0,0.0,true)
set panned[id]=false
endif
endfunction

There was a small mistake in code.

JASS:

function UnpanCam takes player p returns nothing
local integer id=GetPlayerId(p)
if GetLocalPlayer()==p then
call SetCameraTargetController(null,0.0,0.0,true)
set panned[id]=false
endif
endfunction

yup, should be

JASS:

function UnpanCam takes player p returns nothing
if GetLocalPlayer()==p then
call SetCameraTargetController(null,0.0,0.0,true)
endif
set panned[GetPlayerId(p)]=false
endfunction

DanThanh	OOps, thanks for your help ^^ But what's wrong with my code? because it works normally ingame. I don't know if it causes that naughty bug.

maybe something with camera-distance or clipping
