I have this following class, even camera was working fine, but today due to some issue I rebuilt project and which caused Level to reset to its default.
Screenshot of settings: Imgur: The magic of the Internet
So MyCharacter.cpp class gets inherited by PlayerCharacter blueprint which also has Posses setting to player 0, but camera now wont go to 3rd person mode like before.
// MyCharacter.cpp
#include "MyCharacter.h"
#include "MyInteractionComponent.h"
#include "Camera/CameraComponent.h"
#include "GameFramework/SpringArmComponent.h"
#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"
// Sets default values
AMyCharacter::AMyCharacter()
{
// Set this character to call Tick() every frame. You can turn this off to improve performance if you don't need it.
PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;
SpringArmComp = CreateDefaultSubobject<USpringArmComponent>("Spring Arm Component");
SpringArmComp->bUsePawnControlRotation = true;
SpringArmComp->SetupAttachment(RootComponent);
CameraComp = CreateDefaultSubobject<UCameraComponent>("Camera Component");
CameraComp->SetupAttachment(SpringArmComp);
// RPG like camera, character won't rotation only camera does if set to false
GetCharacterMovement()->bOrientRotationToMovement = true;
bUseControllerRotationYaw = false;
InteractionComp = CreateDefaultSubobject<UMyInteractionComponent>("Interaction Component");
}
// Called when the game starts or when spawned
void AMyCharacter::BeginPlay()
{
Super::BeginPlay();
}
// Called every frame
void AMyCharacter::Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
Super::Tick(DeltaTime);
}
// Called to bind functionality to input

{
