Camera follow unit

Camera follow unit is an Effect which is accessed from the Triggers menu. You can learn more about the Triggers window here. You can learn more about using effects here.

Effect Description:

This effect will take control of the camera away from the player and cause the screen to move, following the unit specified. It must be disabled to give camera control back to the player.

Effect Parameters:

Target Unit: The unit for the camera to follow.
Show Unit: Center the editor screen on the unit being followed.
Enable: Set this button to ON to start following the unit, and to OFF to stop following the unit.
Trigger: A Fire Event, which doesn't work.

Notes:

• The camera follows the unit from where it is when the effect is fired. This means the unit is not necessarily on the player's screen when the camera follows the unit. Use a Camera Cut effect immediately before this effect to center the camera on the unit.
• To end this camera behaviour, use another one of this effects set to OFF. You don't need to specify the other parameters then.
