I’d welcome the addition of a second camera actor like the “camera and aim” one in Maya.
Hello!
I tried to implement something like this with Blueprints. Can you look at my setup and make any improvements?
So, it should be Blueprint actor with camera, with some external actor variable for “Target” object.
Problem with that external variable. How can I setup it?
Thank you!
Hey Dmitry,
Here’s an alternative method that may work for you:
-Edit- Forgot to include my Component list, just a root component and Camera component:
Here’s my Actor blueprint I setup, note that this is all in the construction script:
Here’s what my vector variables look like (both should have the same options checked):
Once you place the blueprint in the level, you’ll have to zoom in close on camera actor to see them, but you’ll see two diamond-shaped wireframes that represent the vector variables you exposed (a future version of rocket will have larger wireframes that are much easier to select than the current state). Selecting either of these variables will give you a 3D widget you can move any where in the world. Since Run Construction Script on Drag is turned on by default for Actor blueprints, moving either vector variable will update real-time and the camera will be pointed at your TargetLocation.
Let me know if this works for you!
Thanks!

Stephen, I make setup according to your post
and this is what I get
24612-
It’s works with some additional translations. Where is the problem?
I can’t see attached images, so I add it with my BP to dropbox

Hey Dmitry,
I re-attached the images in my reply, let me know if you see them now.

I get it. So the trouble was in SceneComponent which is parent for camera.
For now it works fine! Thank you Steve!
Hi Christian,
Thank you for the suggestion. I have entered a feature request for this.
Cheers!
