Third Person Action RPG Lock On Question - Distance Lock Off Bug

I’ve had a brief look at this. The one thing I’d change is the flip flop. Bascically I’ve found MANY times, you can’t rely on FlipFlop to do what you think it ought to, especially where ticked logic is involved.

I’d recommend changing it to:

EDIT: 2nd attempt at describing this. FlipFlop is not state dependent, your code is. Somehow, the flip flop is getting out of step with the state of your code. The upshot of this is half your code think it’s locked when the other half thinks it’s unlocked. And that’s what you’re experiencing…

This helped fix part of the issue; flipping between locked and unlocked with multiple button presses after moving away from the target. However, the Timeline still runs the bit of Blueprinting that holds the Distance Lock Off and the Break Sightline custom events. So, the partial camera locking bug still appears.

Would I have performance issues if there was a branch “IsTargeting” check after the Timeline? Basically checking a variable (almost) on tick.

Edit: I forgot to mention, thank you for replying. I didn’t get back to this for a while as I have been pretty busy with college graduation.

Edit 2: Clarity and Grammar
