Trigger:

Camera

Events

Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time

Conditions

Actions

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

HeroOwned[(Integer A)] Equal to True

Then - Actions

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

Camera - Set (Player((Integer A)))'s camera Rotation to (Facing of Hero[(Integer A)]) over 1 seconds

Else - Actions

Uses 2 variables, sugest you make that period trigger for anything else you need too.
Hero = Unit (The unit you want to player to have camera around)
HeroOwned = Boolean(Checks if the player has a hero, if not, it doesnt do anything, sugest you when unit is created for player make it, last created unit = hero, and herowned=true.)

Edit: over 1 second might seem a bit slow, but its really smooth that way.

Leopard	Well. my map is an arena. it has 4 force. after a certain time. i want to pick all gladiators and add them to a team for an event[which make them treat all others heroes as friends]. And when the event ends, I want to return each hero to their original force.[4 force as i said] which 1 force treats other 3 forces as enemy.

Pyru	Just use "Player - Set Alliance", and if you have to: "Player - Change Color". I don't think there is any reason to go through the trouble of trying to find a way to change the "Forces" of the players as the game recognizes them through triggers (if there is a way at all, since I didn't find any) when you can just change their behavior towards another.
