Gameplay Camera's Player and Target Focus Settings Broken

Summary

There are bugs with how a gameplay camera’s settings worked when following a target vs the player.

  • Horizontal and Vertical Speed Setting Doesn’t Affect Focus Target
  • Z Offsets are not respected for Focus Target (locks on pivot point’s Z/Up)
  • Camera doesn’t begin to focus on target until a Fade transition is already ending.

The bugs seem to be consistent with all the gameplay camera types: orbit, fixed and angle
Also, the DEB Event to Focus on Target and Focus on Player do not work. (Also the Verse API is missing for it)

Can confirm that the Z-Offset on orbit camera does not do anything in published maps.
