#include "Camera/CameraComponent.h" Description
A component that defines a camera view. Attach it to an actor to make that actor capable of providing a camera perspective to the player.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • The camera only becomes active when the owning actor is possessed and the player's view target is set. Attaching a UCameraComponent does not automatically make it the active camera.
- • FOV, aspect ratio, and projection mode are set on the component. Post-process settings can also be applied here.
- • Typically paired with a USpringArmComponent to get a smooth third-person follow camera.
Example
Add a camera to a character C++
UCameraComponent* Camera = CreateDefaultSubobject<UCameraComponent>(TEXT("Camera"));
Camera->SetupAttachment(SpringArm, USpringArmComponent::SocketName);
Camera->bUsePawnControlRotation = false;See Also
