So I want to make a freelook camera like the one in squad, you press a button and the camera moves independently from the body, I tried but could not figure it out, any suggestions. Thanks!

Hi ThePangel,

I did a google search for “unreal engine pawn freelook camera” and came across this community tutorial.

I think this should get you the behaviour your looking for!

Cheers

Hi, sadly that for the 3rd person character, I’m using the first person character so it doesn’t work. Thanks either way.

Ah, sorry about that, my thought was ‘If it’s a camera it’s a camera’ and he even mentions at the start of the tutorial that it should work with first person projects.

I followed his tutorial myself and was not able to get good results (plus UE5 character uses slightly different nodes)

Give this community tutorial a shot, totally different approach but it all seems sane.

Cheers
