camera help

what trigger would you use to set the camera veiw to behind/infront of the units head like on LOAP and various other maps

First set camera distance to a small number. Then lock camera to unit/lock camera orientation to unit (not positive which you want).

I never said it was impossible. As I said, you're going to have to set the camera distance to target to the minimum, and lock it so that the target is always in front of the unit enough so it looks like its first person. I'm pretty sure that's how its done, but you should look at some camera tutorials on the net to make sure. (also set the angle of attack to 0/360 and make the z offset about 150 or such.

note - for good first person view gamestyle, don't forget to bind movement to key presses.

Go to the tools section and download WE Unlimited, it has extra triggers, and functions, and ALOT of other stuff, that can do just this for you, without having to mess with triggers yourself.

It can also enable key movement for you, everything.
