I’m looking for a way to blend the 1st and 3rd person cameras as optimally as possible, using the Set View Target with Blend, and hopefully blend the 3rd person camera to new parameters from Data Rows I’ve set up as well, so I can blend between Left and Right shoulder positions.
As for what I’m trying to do now, I’ve tried everything, but there’s no Child Actor Component Category in both Cameras.
I don’t even know what to do, I’m just stuck here and losing my nerves:
Use camera arm with enabled lag.
then replace/swap those values and set camera arm (with camera lag it will interpolate smoothly).
You can disable/enable lag for transition and for camera in place. And you can add more camera locations around character.
“Solution” unclear.
Plus, Forgot to mention two things:
1st Person Camera is attached to the character’s head.
Just use a third person camera, and set the camera boom to be attached to capsule near the head height. I use a location of (X=20.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=70.000000). Then move your character mesh back a little bit on the X. I use -15. This stops the head from clipping through the camera and puts the body in a better position when you look down.
Then you just Lerp between the two target arm length values. I use 300 for TP and 0 for FP.
Finally, adjust the Control Rotation Yaw value (you want it on in FP and off in TP) and make sure to adjust the camera lag and rotation lag for the spring arm as well. You can still have a bit of rotation lag in FP, but setting the regular lag to a high value like 50 essentially disables it when in FP as you don’t want your body moving ahead of the camera.
