How to setup a Top-Down camera on default Car

Hi, I could not figure out how to setup a proper top-down camera on default UE4 car template, I tried to make a camera with spring arm that has a 90 degrees rotation on top of the car with only inherit Yaw checked, the camera goes crazy whenever I start the game, it acts really strange and I don’t know why.

Please help me I have been struggling with this problem for a very long time

by default UE4 Car template do you mean the Vehicle template? If so then doesn’t that come with a Sedan blueprint that’s already setup with a spring arm component which you can rotate to 90 degrees for a top-down view?

Yes it does come with the car on the Vehicle template as you said, but when you rotate the spring arm to 90 and only leave the inherent Yaw checked like in the picture provided, it goes crazy I don’t know why

Use these settings for the spring arm and rotate the camera -90 deg on Y.
Alternatively you can do as before but rotate the spring arm only only -89 degrees and tick Inherit Yaw and Roll.

You may be experiencing gimbal lock. Do what @MMMarcis says and let us know if that solves it

It worked! thank you very much <3
