[Scene Graph - Interactable component] Interactable component does not promt for Fixed angle camera device perspective

[HootyTooty]

Summary

When using the interactable component it shows the interaction prompt correctly for default third person camera and first person camera perspectives. But when using the fixed angle camera component, the prompt is never shown.

Devices

Steps to Reproduce

Create an interaction using an interactable component.
Use a fixed angle camera.
Walk up the the interactable component entity and there will never be an interaction prompt shown.

Expected Result

Just like with regular button devices, there should be an interaction prompt shown. Works fine for button device & fixed angle camera, but not with interactable component & fixed angle camera.

Observed Result

No promt shows up when near the interactable using fixed angle camera

Platform(s)

PC

Aiming at an interactable component (IC) with default third person camera

Aiming at an interactable component (IC) with first person camera

No movement, look/aim angle or anything makes the promp show up in the fixed angle camera

What I also wonder: Why is the IC interaction not exactly aligned with the mesh if it relies on the mesh?

At the bottom it seems to be very accurately aligned with the mesh
Here: 1pixel below mesh

Here: 1pixel on mesh

Works fine using button devices & fixed angle camera:

This also doesn’t work with the third-person camera.

Do you mean the Orbit Camera? I tested it with that and it does work. I think that is the same as the default third-person camera. Or do you mean a different setup?

[HootyTooty]

I think I figured out the problem causing the issue:
The FC.GetViewRotation().GetLocalForward() vector of the Fixed Angle camera is not pointing along the Camera-Reticle vector but some horizontally aligned vector starting at the camera.

You can visualize that by debug drawing a line along the view vector of the camera.
