well im an idiot. how do we reset the position of the viewport camera? I was following a tutorial and this guy told me “make a static mesh 100000 units away so the gun will aim where the player is looking the whole time” and I did and now I AM 100000 units away. this is a literal game breaking issue. can someone help me reset this thing
Right click in the viewport to Go There. Also, double clicking the elements of the World Outliner takes one there:
make a static mesh 100000 units away so the gun will aim where the player is looking the whole time
That’s a tad bizarre, I’ll admit.

Especially the second link as it sounds a bit like the template thing. Other than that, we’d need more info.
Good luck!
