I would like to try my hand at creating a custom map in Starcraft 2 that has a third-person camera following an individual unit. There are a few custom maps that exist with this feature already, so I do know this is possible.

How can I accomplish this? Do I need a custom mods file, or can everything be done in the map file?

What I'm having trouble wrapping my head around are the features that are new to the SC2 map editor that didn't exist in the Warcraft 3 editor. For instance, to do a third-person map, do I need a custom mods file, or can everything be done in the map file? Regardless, is it worth using a mod file? What map settings do I NEED to edit/implement? Which are not necessary, but recommended?
