Is it possible to set a view, kinda like 3rd person on a unit. In a rpg im making theres 1 fight scene I want where the camera follows you like from the back like 3rd person ( basicly the view you get when you use your mouse scroll where it gets all close) I want it like that but set to the unit, fairly low close but not to close. I went set camera to unit and changed the x,y. but it seems no matter wht #s I put its basicly normal view just lockd

Also I want it se t for 2difernt players player 1 has his camera lockd on his unit, and player 1 with have his lockd on his unit

The Angle of Attack camera value changes what you want.

Try making a camera with the attack value of 350. Apply the camera with a trigger and then lock camera to your unit.

You have a Camera Object already made, right? If not, make a Camera Object and click on "Preview" while you are fiddling with it. That's the best way to get the specific angle you are looking for.

I think you need to adjust the "Distance" and Z values.

Also, if it's following from the back, be sure to use "Use Unit Rotation"

ok tanks, It kinda works now. 1 problem though is there anyway to lock lock the camera. as the player cant just press ctl + c that kinda ruins it :( makes my camera totally pointless
