How to control Cine Camera Focus Distance with Trigger Axis

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint
1

At the moment I have a Cine Camera attached to a Pawn. I basically need to fly around the world as a Cine Camera. I have all the movement scripted okay but I am looking to be able to control the Focus Distance with the two Trigger Axis’s. In the Pawn blueprint I am able to control it but I can’t work out how to manipulate it with the triggers.

For example if the default Focus Distance is set to 500cm, I’d like to press the left trigger to bring it down and the right to bring it up. And depending on how hard I press the triggers it pulls the focus either quickly or slowly. The harder I press the quicker it moves.

@BubbysCream Hi, did you ever figure this out? I’ve had success getting aperture and focal length to change via controller input, but even though my BP seems correct for also making focus changes it simply doesn’t work. I’m wondering what I’ve overlooked.

Turns out the code DOES work. It simply wasn’t being reported to the HUD because my HUD blueprint was calling the wrong data.
