conditions bug - Gameplay Camera System

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Well let me rewrite and add some detail:

I’m working with the new Gameplay Camera System in Unreal Engine 5.5 (experimental feature), and I’m trying to control camera blend behavior between first-person and third-person rigs using Gameplay Tags and Conditions.

What I’m trying to do:

  • Swap between firstPerson and thirdPerson rigs instantly (0s linear blend).
  • Ensure smooth 1s transitions only when swapping between similar perspectives:
    • firstPerson → firstPerson
    • thirdPerson → thirdPerson
  • I’m using Gameplay Tags like firstPerson and thirdPerson assigned to the rigs.
  • In the Camera Mode Blends table, I’m trying to set up Conditions to control the transition behavior.

My problem:

  • The conditions do not seem to work as intended.
  • Whether I use the tags or not, all transitions either:
    • Blend smoothly (even when I want them to cut), or
    • Cut instantly (even when I want a smooth transition).
  • I tested this in the Motion Matching example project, editing the CameraAsset_SandboxCharacter blueprint.
  • Tried setting conditions like:
    • Only “far” rigs use Linear blend with 0s duration.
    • Other rigs use Smooth blend with 1s duration.
  • But tags and rig comparisons don’t seem to drive the blend behavior at all.

Things I tried:

  • Creating and assigning the tags in the rig assets.
  • Configuring blend conditions in the Camera Mode asset.
  • With and without Gameplay Tags – same behavior.
  • Setting different blend profiles directly on the rigs themselves.
  • Watching logs and debugging the camera actor – no errors, just incorrect blending.

My Questions:

  1. Are the Gameplay Tag-based Conditions even functional right now in UE5.5’s Camera System?
  2. Is there a working example of conditional blending between rigs using tags or rig type?
  3. Am I misunderstanding how to structure the conditions for blend logic?

Extra context:

  • Engine version: Unreal Engine 5.5 (Motion Matching example project)
  • Asset: CameraAsset_SandboxCharacter
  • I spent weeks trying different combinations and searching forums/documentation, but found nothing conclusive.
  • Any help or pointers (even confirming it’s broken) would be appreciated!
