Camera Help

Post by catalystx »

does anyone know how to create a system like this map

http://www.epicwar.com/maps/60635/

basically it locks the camera then moves around the map and if you don't stay within the camera bounds you die, try it =d.

Bascially, I think it has the camera Locked to a region, and every .01 seconds it moves the region.

And then, if Unit Leaves that region Ex away from camera...Kill that unit

Seems basic.

Ok, it took me a little bit as I was working , but I have figured out a smooth way to get copy the map.

I use a flying unit without a mdx file + collision size, lock the camera to it, and make it move from corner to corner with the camera focused on that model. So, I also put in the map if unit steps on x-terrain they die, and if unit enters range of more than 800 away from the locked model(camera boundries) then they die. Test it out for yourself and I hope it was what you were looking for.
