Forcing the camera to focus on a unit

[Kael]

Anyone know how (through python) to force the selection, or the camera, on a unit? I have a bunch of units in a stack and I want it to display a different one than it is showing.

I don't remember if tutorial does these things, maybe you need to look that code.

Are you planning to do cinematics?

CyCamera().LookAtUnit(pUnit) perhaps?

CyCamera().LookAtUnit(pUnit) perhaps?

Thats gets the camera in the right place but doesn't pop the unit to the top. Any idea how to change the selection to a different unit through python?

CyInterface.selectUnit(CyUnit* pUnit, bool bClear, bool bToggle, bool bSound)

EDIT: There seems to be 2 APIs - I only just realised the other existed. I believe it's GBM's website. This one seems to have slightly more information than the other one, and is slightly more accurate as well, however I find the interface far worse. http://sthurlow.com/cvDocs/cvDoc/CyInterface.htm

Note that I am presently using CyInterface.selectGroup(unit,false,false,false)

I'm going to find out for sure if it selects an entire group.

However, Kael, if you're looking to select a specific unit in a stack, regardless of it's group membership, use selectUnit.

I do not believe that these functions allow you to select a unit from a stack of enemies so you can target a specific one, however.

I needed to use it as CyInterface().selectUnit(CyUnit* pUnit, bool bClear, bool bToggle, bool bSound) but it worked perfectly! Thanks!
