1) This belongs in cinematic devolopment

2) Why dont you make a camera that would be almost at ground level and then center it on the unit and position it the way the unit is facing? If you were going to have multiple units, just center it on the unit that's selected.

If you set the camera to follow the unit, then it WILL follow the unit even if the unit walks up a cliff.

I did something similar to this, except instead of just the camera following the unit, i made it so u have to use the arrow keeys to rotate ur unit/camera... this is what i did (theres prob a much better way, but it works) i made for cameras (1 for each direction) then i made them at ground level and placed them a littile bit above the units head so u cant c the unit. Next i made a trigger so that if u select another unit it reselects urs so that u dont lose track of him. Then i did if unit degree facing = X degrees and player presses left arrow key, then make unit face X degrees, apply camera without panning. Its alot of work and i did it a while ago so i prob made it alot harder than it actually is, but its an idea, gl.
