Some issues with trying to get camera to follow between player character and mouse in Blueprint

Fairly sure that ones a collision issue but not sure of the solution. […]Anytime the mouse hovers over any objects in the scene that isn’t just flat ground, like a wall, prop, etc, it slightly offsets the camera while pointed over said object.

You’re tracing on the visibility channel which everything blocks. You could create a new channel that everyone ignores by default:

Everyone apart from the elements of your scene you want the mouse to trace against:

This particular test only cares now about a single channel.

Also, here’s an alternative approach that uses screen space instead:

Change camera location with mouse cursor movements

Set the springarm location to be Absolute: [image] And then update it in the player: [image] Since the springarm is now absolute, it no longer matters if you’re using the Set Relative Location or Set World Location node for the component. It’s always relative to World anyway. It can be done with relative location only but then you’ll need to deal with inverting transforms at some point.
