I want to lock the cam so the unit is always in the center of the screen.

Here is my current code:
I want to know how to code it so unit is centered on screen.

Trigger:

CamLock

Events

Time - Every 0.20 seconds of game time

Conditions

Actions

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 2, do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Camera - Set (Player((Integer A)))'s camera Distance to target to 477.93 over 0.00 seconds

Camera - Set (Player((Integer A)))'s camera Rotation to (Facing of playerscharacter[(Integer A)]) over 0.20 seconds

Camera - Lock camera target for (Player((Integer A))) to playerscharacter[(Integer A)], offset by (50.00, 0.00) using Default rotation

Camera - Change camera smoothing factor to 30.00

iNfraNe	How about.. Camera - Pan Camera to point? be sure to remove the leak with the point tho, since else itll lag up.

Linera	I don't know how to trigger it so it keeps unit in the center of the screen. the camera rotates with the unit's facing

Captain Griffen	Once you lock it to the unit, the camera stays on that unit till you unlock it.

Mordiggian	You have some sort of offsets in it. Or at least it sounds that way. Simply just put the trigger "Camera - Lock camera target to [unit]" or something like that and it will stay there. Of course, it also depends on what camera you are locking in. Just make a camera the way you like it and then put "Apply [camera] object .. " before you lock it.

Linera	I did apply camera and it still has unit near top of screen.

paidan_fain	If the problem is with the locking to unit method, why not do what the first guy who posted said and have it pan to the location of the unit rather than the unit? It may not solve the problem but its worth a shot.

Linera	but won't they be able to still scroll camera?

Mordiggian	Not if it's locked. Only rolling "in and out" is allowed. And if you want to prevent that just made Periodic Event trigger (0.1 second or sumthing..).
