3rd Person System?

08-09-2007, 09:56 PM	#1
Mr.Wuggles	Is there a way to make a 3rd person move/click system that moves with the hero? If so what would the trigger code be? And could it be used with more than one person? I also want for it to allow the player to click on other objects while still in the 3rd person perspective.

botanic	its in the camera triggers, follow unit or attach camera to unit is the command (cant remember exact wording)

Azeroth Grand Prix Camera Camera System. Very easy to use and supports 12 players. Fully made in JASS by me. Actually I just finished it right now.

EDIT: It' s camera system. And dosn' t require arrows. You can choose your unit and click where ever you want and camera will follow unit. It follows unit but not it' s orders. Whatever you do camera will follow your unit. Even when your unit acquires auto-target it will follow. Where ever unit goes follows camera too.

Beardo	my honest opinion: dont do it. save your time. alot of 3rd person cameras dont wind up getting utilized anyways (ie if there's -cam1 -cam2 type options) and ps, offset #s adjust the height of the camera and a 1 second period on that trigger might be too sparse for a camera.

Nubcookie	Yeah, unless you're brutal and you force players to use a 3rd view, nobody will.
