For those who may be using the Enhanced Mapping and having the issue of holding the key down and it starts changing cameras like crazy, you can go to your IMC_Default, open your Mapping for changing the camera, go to Triggers, add a new one and choose Pressed per example. Worked perfectly for me

[@Sailor-X-Topher]

Thank you this was the exact thing I was having an issue with.

[@loganstewart6133]

Yes! Thank you very much. I was confused for a good several minutes.

[@TagNull]

I found that it's quicker to just call on the C key through enhanced mapping, it made it stop repeating

[@fvertical2530]

thanks buddy

[@Ckinproduction]

If you are using the EnhancedInputAction event you can click the little drop down arrow and it will give you a "Started" pin. Just connect the "Started" pin to the input pin on the Flip Flop node.

If you are experiencing some jittering when switching movement direction, you have do disable the ORIENT ROTATION TO MOVEMENT from the character component when you switch to the first person camera. When you switch back to third person, re enable it (if you are using the default third person template)

Hi! It works well. But after I turned player start direction and make 1stperson camera active from start - body stoped to follow 1Pcam and I can literally look at my chest as if my head is spinning 360 degrees (like without yaw node). But if I switch on 3rd and then on 1st again, this works well again. I tried to reset script but it not helped. What I need to fix this issue? Thanks !

I was having an issue like this, where I started from the first person camera and I could turn it around to look at my character's mesh. My solution was using two Set Active nodes one after the other in Event BeginPlay for my third person character template. One of these was for the first person camera and the other for third person.

I have a question/problem. When i replicate on multiplayer, the first person player mesh follow the camera, so if i press "S" for example, the mesh keep looking forward, but to the other player, the character is looking the other way, i think i've described enough and clear. Do you know how can i fix this?

[@GorkaGames]

Hmm, make sure that when you are in fps you turn of in the character movement component "orient to movement". If it still happens you will need to send and RPC, by creating a custom event, and then setting it to be multicasted

[@eduardobozzetto2419]

@@GorkaGames Got you! It worked. But when i did a blendspace animation to animate him walking to the sides, backwards and other directions, it won't apply, probably is my fault to not know well how replication really works.

@@eduardobozzetto2419 Im glad it worked! So animations are always replicated by Unreal by default. So you wouldn't need to do anything, are you running as a server and host, or only server and clients?

Gorka games how do you combine first-person and third-person video games in one and also what are the similarities between first person and third-person video games?

[@MrChaoLupus]

if you open the content drawer by clicking the tab on the bottom left or hitting CTRL+SPACE, you will see an add option. Click that button and click the "Add Feature or Content" option. It should show the base blueprints for First Person, Third, Top Down and whatever other defaults are built into the engine. Just select the one you want and click Add to Project, you can do this multiple times to combine features into one project.

[@alonsotglima9494]

(Using the translator) Congratulations on the video and work. In your opinion, why do FPS games not have shadows, or do we not see the character's feet? It's ridiculous for you to walk in front of a light source and not see your shadow on the wall, or for you to look down to pick up an item and not see your feet. People open drawers or doors with the power of their mind, as we don't see the character touch the object. The damn thing in Resident Evil 7, you see the character lean on a wall, or a door, but when you open a drawer, it opens by itself. Well... that's it... good health and success!

[@natanmachel7123]

Nice tutorial, but when I look up or down i can see my character's hair and beard in the first person, is there a way to synchronize head movement with camera ?

[@GorkaGames]

Thanks! So by default because we have the pawn control enabled on the camera, Unreal uses the head`s rotation but smooths it out with the controls. So if you would like to snap the camera to the head, you would need to disable the pawn control enabled in the camera, and then make an object rotate the pawn instead of the camera. But I wouldn't recommend doing that, as you will realize that the camera will shake a lot making it unplayable. So I would suggest moving the camera a bit forward and up, making the head`s bone smaller if you are only in first person, here's a tutorial about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2rdnX6Vic97ms0 , and have some animations that will decrease the head`s movement. Hope it helps!
