Patchwork Tool - Custom Zoom (Input Triggers) Breaks Character

[spankysully1 (spankysully)]

Summary

I’ve built a custom zoom feature using Input Triggers and Orbit Cameras, however when attempting to use it with the Patchwork Tool the player’s character goes invisible, and the “zoom” (changing to the orbit camera) does not happen.

In the video attached, you can see the zoom system in action. Works perfectly fine with and without the pistol (as intended), but as soon as I attempted to zoom while holding the Patchwork Tool it breaks the character.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Devices

Steps to Reproduce

1. Equip Patchwork Tool
2. Using input trigger (set to ‘Target’) apply an orbit camera

– Settings for orbit camera –

1. Add to player, when input trigger pressed
2. Remove from player, when input trigger released

Expected Result

Custom zoom system should work fine with any equipped item. (it did previously, as I had a patchwork tool with this system ~1 year ago)

Observed Result

Custom zoom does not work, character and held items go invisible. This remains until the session is quit and restarted.

Platform(s)

PC (likely all)

Patchwork Tool - Orbit Camera Bug

Hey Spanky, we’re having trouble getting a repro here, and it looks like we’re missing something. Could we get the full steps you do to get to this point, or send over your project ID?

Patchwork tool already have 2 zoom levels also linked to the “aim” keybind, probably using a input trigger on these same keybinds are the reason of this conflict happening

[spankysully1 (spankysully)]

Hmm, strange. As long as the Input trigger is set to the ‘Target’, it should be doing it, might need ‘Consume Input’ ticked as well.

Here’s the project ID, it’s just on a shared project that a few friends and I have set up.

I’ll check into this.
