How to Move the Camera Into Another Location in Unreal Engine 5

[@jawsomeproductions]

Very helpful, and nice to be able to move camera actor in scene rather than have to figure out coordinates and plug that into a variable. Nice work!

[@ponysonic]

bit weird doing this with an empty actor and not a camera but a tip for anyone using this method: to get the empty actor aligned with your desired 'shot' you can get the editor viewport aligned to the view you'd like to switch to, then select the CameraPos actor and click "Snap Object to View". much less trial and error that way. cheers!

thanks man!!

Really, really useful. I have the same seris of events, i instead used "set world location" instead of "attatch component" and it worked better, and i just had to string "get actor of class" to "get actor location" intead of using an arrow

[@Uncle_Mike001]

It would be a nice followup video for this, if you could show how to make that the camera view determine character movement. Like where the camera is facing, that would be forward movement and according to that, left, right and backwards.

[@GorkaGames]

I will note that down! Sort of like a side scroller/ top down behavior right?

[@caydeisclutch2589]

exactly what I was thinking. Another thing that would be practical is rather than manually placing a new camera location and adjusting it, is having it rigged so that the camera moves to a fixed position relative to the character at the entry point and moves along a plane with the character throughout that entire area (similar to how the normal perspective camera follows the character). Doing so allows the player to have the same focus on every piece of detail rather than feel far off in one place and really close in another. I guess the relevance of this would be determined on how complex or detailed a game is, but is something a lot may find useful. edit: maybe not a 1:1 ratio of movement, but just a fraction of the amount of space the character moves, scaled depending on the size of the space you're traversing during the particular segment of the level. ie; there's a long, dark passage with things coming out of the walls or objects you need to gather. it's nice if the camera follows you a certain amount of the way so that you are not having to strain to see details of monsters or environmental hazards or find objectives, and any potential jump-scare is that much more effective with a more immersive viewpoint.

Very easy to do, in Move component, check/uncheck control rotation view.

[@ZonsCHANNEL]

@@DailyPaily what do you mean by "move component?? I don't see where this option is.

Nice! If possible would love to see a tutorial on how to make a cinematic camera view! Such as GTA 5 camera view when you are in a car. :D

[@DrunkDev]

Nice video. Do you know how you can make a third person camera work on an NPC? like for example if you want to take control of the player character to move it to a place using "AI move to" for a cut scene, during that time I want the player be able to keep controlling the camera.

I'm relatively new to UE5, and I'm exploring the concept of creating a game that combines coding education in a portal-themed gaming environment. One potential challenge is the seamless integration of puzzle-game elements with an educational context. Although it might be ambitious for someone at my level, I believe it could be an excellent way to learn. Any suggestions or creative insights that could make this concept more feasible and engaging or is it just dumb.

[@caydeisclutch2589]

I'm still rather new as well. I love this concept. This is not dumb at all. Sounds rather ambitious, and maybe somewhat difficult, but very doable if you know exactly what you aim to accomplish, based on the amount of time I spent in UE so far. When you say puzzle-game elements, could you elaborate? Seems like the biggest factor in difficulty is going to be whether or not this is a team-based environment or something entirely solo. I hope to see more feedback on this topic.

Awesome tutorial!! Thank you for sharing.

wow, short and most importantly useful

Can you do a tutorial how to reattach the camera to the player?

[@dingenskirchen541]

Very nice, thanks again. Greetings from Germany!

[@Hotberginaa]

hello how can the camera go back on end begin overlap trigger box please

[@HeyRnold]

Could you do a shoulder swap tutorial? Where I can press a key and the camera will go from one shoulder to the other I can’t find anything on it

[@steinmov]

The setup works for me, except the player character remains in the same direction as it was before the camera switch. I want to be able to switch so I can see the character from the front. The camera switches but the character still has its back to the camera. Thoughts?

[@TrespasserAlt]

could you do a tutorial on how to make a custom movement mode? i need to do it for my game but i cant find anything on it.

Another awesome tip😌✌️

Its called "Detach from component" then reattach to another arrow on character

how to do it with the topdown mode? it doesnt have camera boom

Can you make a tutorial so that when you hold something in first person, the background is blurred and you can interact with it?

Could you do video camera tracking character animation in the next time ? i gllad to see it

[@Crowfly]

How can I make the camera change view? for example if my character is sliding I want the camera to change. The lerp method implemented in other tutorials doesnt work great becuase of the camera clipping si I need it to stay sturdy

can i move this camera with my mouse? like i do with the third person blueprint, i wanted to use it like a shooting gallery minigame

How do you switch players?

[@Games_creator-g6r]

its like god of war 3

[@wanderinglord8164]

Why not just using a level sequence ... You basicly using 3 hard reference to switch camera angle while you should just create a level sequencer don't think it's the best way to do that.

[@fritzm.9364]

Why would you introduce the overhead of a level sequence to do that? This tutorial is a little misleading and I believe it would be better to include an actual use of this change of PoV. Probably a static camera like older Resident Evil games. This could justify having these “anchor” points in the world without any additional processing.
