Third-person aim

Development Programming & Scripting

Hello, I have a question about, what’s the better way to code aim for the third-person game, that’d look like this Star Wars Battlefront 1 gameplay Tatooine Dune Sea - Galactic Civil War mission 1 - YouTube. The easiest way to hardcode viewport at some resolution in hud, but I don’t think it’s a good choice. So another idea is to get character mesh(or even capsule) in viewport coords and make then + some float. Maybe there’re some better ideas?

Because now it looks like this:

That one actually looks crappy. No matter what game it is. There is nothing wrong copying the aim logic from Dead Space of from Mass Effect. They probably spent a lots of time testing what is comfortable to the player :slight_smile:

Sure it looks crappy, because its not adjusted. Here I’m asking what decision is better.
