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 ā€œunreal engine pawn freelook cameraā€ 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, Iā€™m using the first person character so it doesnā€™t work. Thanks either way.

Ah, sorry about that, my thought was ā€˜If itā€™s a camera itā€™s a cameraā€™ 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
