How To Stop Camera Clipping In Unreal Engine 5

[@FlashheadX]

Spring arms are great! If you set its rotation to "absolute rotation", you can use it in a side scroller because it won't move when the character turns around.

[@MattAspland]

Great point!

[@Manas-co8wl]

While still having it within level bounds? Interesting..

[@Zesilo]

The main detail to change on the spring arm to enable collision so that this works is the "Camera Collsion -> Do Collision Test [Checked]"

[@Dart_Board]

It worked for me broooo!

[@TheRunningSongs]

At this point, I’ll just follow ur vids to make a whole damned game. Honestly these tutorials would carry me through it!

[@MattAspland]

So happy I could help!

[@jaydenstrudel]

i am pretty much doing exactly that rn 💀 if it weren't for matt i have no idea where i would be

[@watched2524]

Great video again. Saviour in need and always somehow exactly uploading what I just need.

[@KGCofficial7]

Great video Matt!

[@MattAspland]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@skeletongames2526]

Great tutorial. I would to ask, can you make motorcycle tutorial for third person, please.

[@RTSun-lx7ee]

Hi, Matt, This is second time I left message on your channel. I just discovered that I need the "Do Collision Test" in "Camera Collision" to match your behavior. And it wasn't default by me becase I had my C++ character imported from many version ago. Thank you.

[@sandiablo360]

I experienced this on 5.3.2. I' glad I saw this post.

[@VVVWVVVVWVVVWVV]

Good tutorial

[@MattAspland]

Thanks!

[@choker1236]

Finally I have found the video that doesn’t have those!!!

[@HDbacon]

Many thanks man!

[@overlandgames]

what to do with a camera that is top down and has buildings with roofs? if the collision detection happens at the end of the spring arm, if the spring arm is 800 units high, and the rooftop is only 400 units high, the camera stays above the roof top, is there a way to detect collision along the sring arm and bring the camera down below that spot?

[@Equlibrium96]

cast a ray (linetrace) from the character towards the camera. If it hits something, then place the camera at the hit locations (might need to subtract something from the z-axis)

[@RtxRob]

Select Camera Boom -> Setting -> "Camera Collision -> Do Collision Test [Checked]" + "probe channel" to "Visibility".

[@mulagraphics]

This comment helped me, thanks man

[@blavkadam2153]

best videos this guy to the point

[@Omegapeludo]

How can I make it if the camera is in the map?

[@corvidgamesstudio]

I am trying to find a way to make it so it doesnt zoom when colliding but instead rotates. Bc my camera is over the shoulder view so zooming in just makes the annoying zoom in effect.

[@GamePrototypes]

Yo, mat! Is there any way to make the collision smoother? Look at max payne 1 and to for reference. It kinda looks like the spring arm is on a cone instead of just a line with a dot. I've been thinking about a system with a bunch of linetraces but can't get my head around it. Would love to get your input on this!

[@Dhieen]

when i turn my camera, the player is like ahead on one axis, so when i look at one direction its okay but when i turn my camera at the opposite direction, my character is inside the camera, like the center of the camera rotation isnt the character

[@LaCloacaDelGame]

thanks Broooo! I need this video!

[@Evan-rj9xy]

Is it possible to keep the camera in the same place, but sorta cut through whatever geometry is in the way? Lots of games just take whatever object is in the way and turn it transparent, but I swear I've seen games with a cutout effect so you can always see your character, even behind walls and stuff.

[@overlandgames]

check out "advanced fade objects" in the marketplace, i think that might be what you're lookin for

[@RolyPolyGames]

Any advice on solving this for first person cameras?

[@soulshard7229]

Yo, could you create a tutorial of mapping a PS4/PS5 controller (hell even make UE5 register input from PlayStation controllers) to UE5 with the new IMC? It would be awesome if you could.

[@emptybruh]

Can this somehow be used for first person?

[@lifeasneil]

Thanks bro!

[@PatrickTheDM]

I have not encountered this, but if I do I know where to look. I was thinking it was collision settings on the meshes at first and trying to guess how something like that could even happen.

[@thesinglegoblin]

Great vid thanks, are there any videos or comments on what to do once the camera enters the 3rd person character's body? What I mean is when the method in your video is applied it will work until the character is standing right next to the wall and when you rotate the arm around eventually it will clip inside the 3rd PC's mesh to prevent itself from colliding with the wall.

[@frost208]

how would I make collision not true on some certain overhead objects (example - Third Person Perspective, a mesh roofed army tent so you're just looking through the mesh then)? trying to figure this out and its messing with my brain.. lol

[@dmytrogladkyi]

thanks! I have moved camera location instead of the Spring offset and that's why it did not work!

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

Do you have a wee Tutorial on how to set up Quinn to walk by default please. I the Quang Phan's Humanbase and he has a walk hold shift to run but I not sure how I'd copy his movment into the new BP from use with Quinn

[@exessgames]

prolly not needed now but set your max walk speed to 150-200 then if you want to sprint set it higher on pressed and the walk speed on released

[@tbb1985]

thank you. it helps s lot

[@MattAspland]

You're welcome!

[@clebo99]

I watched this twice and it's not working exactly like I was hoping. I have 2 camera choices, one traditional and one from far away. The far away one doesn't stop the clipping and just seems be the look I want. Without the Camera Arm it looks right but the clipping is still there. I need to keep rewatching but this is where I get so frustrated in UE. I follow these great tutorials (and yours are great) but I still don't get the correct result. So frustrating sometimes.

[@offlinemoe]

Hey Matt, can you do a bit more advanced tutorials ?

[@graham8624]

Thanks

[@GamercastMMs]

I am making a horror game, and I have a question the player carries a flashlight, but when I bump into objects, the flashlight clips into the objects, covering the light source. I added that it has a collision on. Yet still this won't fix it. What gives? :)

[@petrockminer5336]

Great Video Matt! Do you have any videos or could you make a video on how to make a simple side scroller in the style of Super Mario brothers, specifically how to recreate the mechanics of the game such as coins, sounds, jumping, enemies, platforms, traps, death/restart/respawn, and completing a level with stats screen at the end with coins collected and time remaining and a death counter for setting up speed runs?

[@henry7696]

you are literally asking for a tutorial on how to do an entire sidescrolling game

[@petrockminer5336]

[@denberz711]

You can't drag the follow camera onto spring arm. Bruh

[@pyrategamer4424]

Hii can you make bed finding ai system please

[@srknAyn]

thanks

[@boolean711]

Any idea how to fix the clipping through objects when using an aim offset in first person? my character also has arms so I can't rotate at just the neck or something like this, I need from the hip up. Maybe some kind of sphere trace detection on mouse moved event, but seems like that would be super heavy on the PC, either way I can just make walls thicker for now but if anyone has a fix for this I'll be so grateful :D

[@boolean711]

So fixed this actually pretty quick, my hand slot spring arm just checked the do collision test and it worked, this video pointed me in the right direction atleast :D

[@huyduong8946]

cool

[@MrShroombot]

Wow this is great. Although I do like to go inside the character's head to see the back of their eyeballs. Not! Haha

[@RobinDale50]

THIS!

When do you start in german? Your Videos are good but german will be more helpful for me
