Making the camera move regardless of character movement

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Hi,

I’m making a sidescroller where the character has constant movement. When the character hits an object and gets stuck however, I want the camera to keep on moving, and when the character eventually ends up outside the screen, it dies.

I can’t seem to be able to set this up, since I see no ways of giving the camera component a velocity.

How would you guys solve this?

I’d start with taking the camera component out of the character and making a separate Camera actor.
