I am new with editing triggers, but not with using the world editor.

How do you order a camera to zoom out or in from the current camera. Also, when I order a camera to rotate, it locks the camera. How do I prevent this? How do you make an overhead view? +rep for help

Trigger:
Camera - Set (Owner of (Casting unit))'s camera Distance to target to 1800.00 over 1.50 seconds

You can replace owner of casting unit to whatever you like, but this would be the action for zooming out. Too zoom in just lower the distance.

as for rotating, you need to reset the camera or set it back to a desired position.

Trigger:
Camera - Reset camera for Player 1 (Red) to standard game-view over 0.00 seconds

using reset will however set it back to normal game camera, so if you dont want an abrupt zoom in, then set it back to the previous view or you can use

Trigger:
Camera - Apply (Current camera) for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds

If you have a preset camera, you can change (current camera) to the desired camera.
