Well basicly I need to know how to do 3 things... 1st: I need to know how use arrow keys to move something in multiplayer... I know how to do it for 1person, but I don't know enough to convert that into a multiplayer arrowkey movement. Much like the map legacies, if anyone has play that... Left & Right moves the unit's angle of vision and up moves the unit forward. I'm also thinking of like making 2 other keyboard keys to make a unit stafe left or right. 2nd: 1st person view in multiplayer. I don't even know how to do it for single player.. I've looked at other threads concerning this and the ones that DO work, I can't open the map to take a look at the triggers, or they're in jass. So please help me figure this out... Also just to clear it up, first person view is the view through the eyes of the unit... as if you were the unit. For some reason people are actually confused by what is 1st person view. 3rd: I will refer to the map: Tank Commanders (which is lock thats why I can't figure it out). In that game you angle the cannon and press a button to shoot. Well what i want is to simply shoot straight ahead... No aiming or anything. Shooting straight in front of the unit even if something is there or not. And the attack doesn't follow the unit like in melee games when ranged units attack. Basicly I'm talking about pressing a button and your units fires straight ahead. If you know how to do any of the 3 please help me. Also i'm a visual learner so if you could make a map of the triggers and stuff so i can see how you did it. Don't lock it (silly to mention, but just to make sure). Also I don't know jass so giving me something in jass would be wasted on me unless you explain further. Lastly I don't have anything fancy to support the WE. I only have regular WE... Do i need something specail? If so tell me where to get it. Most of the maps that do exactly what i want is either protected or using some fancy enhancement thingy... which i don't know... I remember someone refering to it as USMWE or something like that... maybe USME or something... I dunno.... |

Check a previous thread by me, I had questions and got answers on fixing my triggers for key movement. Fpv can only be achieved through applying a camera constantly. See that very same thread for my triggers, although you'll have to figure out the camera on your own. Just use attack ground, and after its attacked once then tell it to stop |

Well i took a look at previous threads by you and i didn't see anything... Regarding the arrow key movements... i know how to do it... its just i don't know how to do it for multiple people. for example: my event is player1 presses left arrow, or whatever the event says... is there a way to make it so that it says something like... for players 1 to 12 if each presses left then blah blah...?? i'm sorta new so if you could show me in a map that'd be even better 2nd i know how to make cameras work in 3rd person... but is there a way to get the cameras infront of the unit? cause else it wouldn't be 1st person... the camera needs to be the eyes of the unit... 1way would be lower the distance to a negative number.. but the minimum is 100. so how do i do it? i've heard people say point offset... what does that really mean... could you write it and show me? like point offset infront of the unit? lastly you said use the ground attack or whatever... like for seige units?? problem with that is you still gotta use the mouse to aim... i simply want to press a button and it shoots in front... is that a spell or trigger or both?? i'll refer to tank commanders again... download and play it so you know what i'm talking about... in tank commanders you simply press the cannon button and it fires... i want the same thing... (also hes disabled the attack/attack ground command for the tank too somehow.. thats neat, i'd love to do that too. |

Depends on what you mean. If you mean when you select an enemy unit, thats an easy trigger, you should be able to figure that out. If you mean shoot directly in front of you, there is another thread currently on the top of the first page ( as of this post) in which a person asks an identical question. So if he gets an answer, so do you. |
