zooming help please

[darkxion]

I'm trying to make what I thought was a relatively simple trigger for zooming in and out, kind of like in those battleship maps. Where a player types something such as, -zoom 500, and the map zooms out, or back in, or back to normal camera distance, if anyone could help me with this, it'd be great. Thanks

Zoom
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
Conditions
Actions
Camera - Set (Triggering player)'s camera Height Offset to (Real((Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string)))))) over 1.00 seconds


Type -zoom # and itll zoom to that distance

eg
-zoom 500 itll zoom out to 500 -zoom 0 will set it to normal

Is it hight offset =\?

[darkxion]

didn't work =( if i type -zoom and a #, like -zoom 100, it does nothing.

(edit)

Scratch what I said, I had it wrong, kinda weird figuring out which option lets you phrase what right, took awhile, I got it how you showed it, and of course it works fine. Thanks a lot! I wonder if there isn't a way to set a condition so -zoom can only be used within a min/max limit though. like -zoom 0 to -zoom 750, or somethin'

Zoom
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
Conditions
(Real((Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string)))))) Greater than or equal to 0.00
(Real((Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string)))))) Less than or equal to 750.00
Actions
Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Height Offset to (Real((Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string)))))) over 1.00 seconds



Tested and it works
To set the conditions, create a new condition, real comparison, click the "life of triggering unit" and search for "conversion - string to real", click entered chat string, search for substring, click "string" search for entered chat string, change the numbers to 7 and length of string, entered chat string. Pretty poor instructions but should save you time trying to guess which options to click like you said you had problems with on yuor previous post.
