I'm trying to make a camera move, with triggers, but it seem to be impossible, if it's possible, than how do I do that?
and if it's impossible, is there a way to set the 'Z Offset' with the "set camera field" action or in some other way (with triggers)?

help will be appresiated.

What are you trying to do?
You want to move the camera? How, you have actions to follow a unit or to set the camera overhead of unit so it will move with the unit.
camera - Lock camera source to unit
camera - lock camera target to unit

If that's not it, please be more specific!

nono... I know very well what lock camera target to unit does, but it doesn't move a camera, it moves your view, what I want to move is a spacific camera object, and yes, I want it to lock on a unit, but I don't seem to be able to move the camera object placed on my map with my knowledge in triggers...

what I'm trying to do is to make a 1st body game, and the only problem I have is that after using lock camera target to unit and setting all the view's settings with the set camera field, I still have one setting left that for some reason the set camera field action doesn't allow me to change, and it's the Z offset.
yet I can edit the Z offset in camera objects, so I thought that if there's a way to move camera objects I can just set a camera with the settings I want and tell it to lock on the unit.

so if someone knows of an action that edits the Z offset in the view, or how to move Cameras (camera objects... those blue thingies...) please tell...
