Camera that Follows terrian

Im sorry If I already posted this, I just reformated and lost the link, and am unable to find the thread, if I did

I'm working on a first person (non-FPS mod) map that will need hilly terrian. This raises the question of how to perevent the camera from going though the terrian- instead of over it. JASS, GUI, it makes no difference to me. If you can find a way to do this (without using the FPS mod type measures) I will reward you, if you like, along with a spot in the (short) credits of the map.

I will post more intfo about the map its self in the Maps in Development forum.

Can you do something like this every 1 second:

Set Camera heigth equal to (hieght of terrain at point(position of unit(Unit camera is following))) + What ever height you want the camera


I don't know the exact fuction, but I sure its there...

Im pretty sure they use different units. Such as you will get 1-5 when you need atleast 100 fro it to be eye level. Aswell, that willnot follow hills, if they dont reach that height. I may try and get the conversion down, if it works kwell enough

Now that I think about it again, Im sure. I used it to detect cliffs and it returns the height of a cliff at that point (1-5 normally)

Nope, It doesnt work. It still doesnt follow the height of the unit

Possibly you could have "Hight areas", as to around hills you raise the cam, gradually, and then lower it if you're coming from the top of one.

Hmm, that may be difficlult since there would b emany hills. I oculd use a loop to check, but I think it would be too jumpy in transitions
