Cannot bind the defaut values of camera variable collection parameters in the new Gameplay Camera System

[Sulleyyyyyy]

I am trying the new Gameplay Camera System and I’d like to bind some parameters of the camera to those defined in a variable collection.

The expected behavior is, when the game starts, the Boom Offset should be set to the default value in the variable collection, i.e., (1000, 0, 0), but the actual behavior is, it’s still using (-500, 50, 50).

Is it a bug or designed by purpose? If it’s designed purposely, it would be better to add a toggle indicating whether to use the default values defined in variable collections as the initial values for those parameters bound to the variable collection.

Drag the GameplayCamera component to the Event Graph to create a node. Drag from the GameplayCamera component node and search for then select Get Initial Variable Table. Drag from the Return Value pin of the Get Initial Variable Table node and search for then select Set Camera Rig Parameters . Find your Camera Asset and the Camera Rig that has the Camera Rig Parameter exposed. Thats how updating variable for a Rig works. [gameplay-cameras-quickstart-36]

The solution was found in the thread above.
It seems that calling SetCameraRigParameters for each CameraRig resolves the issue.
This is honestly far too inconvenient—hopefully it gets improved soon.
