Temp. disable Camera Boom / Spring Arm

[Roig]

@Spoondog

Old thread, but in case anyone came searching, like I did, for a way to “reset” a spring arm (i.e. reset it’s springiness if you want to do a hard teleport on it’s attached camera), you can do it this way:

Requires the one-frame delay, but is the only effective way I found.

I always used your method, a delay… BUT I ended up with this approach (uses c++):

class UCustomSpringArmComponent : public USpringArmComponent {
GENERATED_BODY()
public:
  // This resets the target arm component location to the location of the arm component
  UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable)
  void ResetArmTargetLocation() {
    // Using this, the change is instant, no need for a delay.
    UpdateDesiredArmLocation(false, false, false, 0 /* not used inside */);
  }
};
