FirstPerson Template : a real walk feeling ?

Development Character & Animation

Hi guys !

I don’t know how can I get a real walk feeling with the first person template.
I want to move the camera up and down a little bit while the character is walking.

So if someone can explain to me the process :slight_smile:

LOL … I just did this last night … here are the quick steps.

1). Add a mesh to your Character BP.
2). Create a socket on your skeleton’s head, I called mine Camera.
3). Add a camera to your Character BP and place it under the mesh.
4). Set the socket for the camera to the Camera socket you created in Step 2.

Basically this attaches your camera to your skeleton and you will get whatever movement that the mesh is doing. You will know that this is working because inside the viewport of the character, you will see the camera moving along with the idle animation.
