How do I make it so when people play my map, they can only view it from a side, like a side scrolling game.
I also want to know how to make a unit stay side scrolling only. Either going left or right.
Also, this is off topic from my title, but how do I make it so when I press a button to make a unit shoot, it will shoot into the direction with no actual target?
Are you sure you want to make a map like this? Are you using WASD movement? There is a certain lag with these triggers that makes these games unbearable for me.
Now i wud answer ur question, but in all honesty, ur asking for several things which need a bit of explaining, so instead ill give u a link to one of OneTwoSC tutorials which gives u a rundown on a rpg style based map creation which tells u how to make cameras, how to make it follow ur unit, WASD movement (for ur sidescroller u wud only need SD and maybe W for jump later on (so dont use that button for anything else) and a whole bunch of other goodies. Using this tutorial i myself actually made a sidescroller map (no content, but i made all the triggers etc) so im sure it will help u.
All credit to OneTwoSC of course (u aught to sub to him, he makes well explained tutorials)
The Last viking, Tetris, and other examples of games using keyboard controls, side scrolling concepts, and other various "common" game interfaces were all done in code. This gives the creator a lot of control as well as the ability to cut out a LOT of lag. What you ask is very possible, however, in total, you are asking for a whole lot of complex code to do it "well".
I'm not telling you to not try to make your map, but I just want to warn you that it will be difficult.
Sorry I wasn't clear enough. What I want to do is this. (Bad mspaint job)
Side units shown in order are Raven, Viking, and Phoenix.
The ground units are just there to show how the units are supposed to be. They are on land. I want the units (the air units) to be shown sideways. I know how to scale the units to make them bigger or smaller, but I want to know how to turn them around or flip them. I want them to be shown sideways like that throughout the whole game.

If he cant make a camera, i dont think hes ready for script or coding lol
theres a way to do it, the guys on blizzard team did it lol.
there is no doubt there is a way to do it
Keep in mind lost viking is in the single player, and it can be played offline. That is one reason there isn't any lag.

How would I do this?
Thanks in advance.
This is what I'm trying to do.
