Hey All!
I’m working on a first person project and have a couple of death animations implemented. Everything works good, but there are a couple of things I need to get straightened out. The first is the player’s capsule—when the player “dies” and falls to the ground, the collision capsule maintains it’s position, obviously. I’ve previously seen a workaround for this, but can’t remember for the life of me where I found it. Also, I’m trying to find a viable way to have the camera follow the player’s head. So, for example, when the player dies and lies on his back, I’d like the camera to follow the head rotation so it’s looking upward. I’ve accomplished this with using the spring arm and playing around with “Use Pawn Control Rotation,” but haven’t found any solution that works properly.
The second question may be a bit more for animation, but I decided to ask it here rather than opening multiple threads. I need the player–when attacked from behind, the side, etc.–to face the attacker. A “forced” view, I suppose. I’m assuming I would handle this in the AI Attacker’s “Kill Player” function via casting, but I’d like to hear some other opinions on this.
I have some grisly surprises in store once I can get these functions going and would love to share it here! Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
