For anyone else having the issue where the model is rotating when first setting the first person camera (FPS camera starts first) - I found that if you go into Third person character (self object) and tick the box under "pawn" that sets "use controller rotation yaw" this fixes the issue for me and gives full functionality. Great video, thank you so much!

[@reddishbeard8748]

Thanks, this helped!

[@greatsol2444]

THANK YOU. The previous tutorial I followed had us going through a half-hour of multiple complex and convoluted steps, and in the end it didn’t even work! This is 100x better. Clear, simple and concise!

[@angry_karakuri]

Hey, I don't know if you're still reading these comments but your videos are very, very much appreciated. I come from Unity after being fed up with it and your videos are a golden resource. Thank you very much!

[@Thaelose]

Great tutorial! Very straight forward and to the point. I also appreciate the explanation you give with each step.

[@Rossichi44]

Nice and working perfectly, even running backwards or towards left or right directions! :D Thanks you for providing this really helpful tutorial, that is what I was looking for to change perspectives, event this could be useful for code changes ingame cutscenes or other events :)

[@Skeltcher]

Wow so much more efficient and organized compared to the old tutorials!

Thanks Matt...I always forget to check the box for the rotation and look around for it until I remember the search bar is there for a reason, lol.

you are awesome!

[@kevCarrico]

great video - thank you! i also added Set Visibility so my mesh isn't visible when in first person

[@BenjaBrenner123]

Wonderful tutorial as always, however one thing is that when I parent the camera to the head socket for first person, my camera moves around a lot due to animations. Is there a way to stop the camera from moving/rotating from the animations? Any help is greatly appreciated! :)

[@digital7675]

amazing video

Hey Matt ,I find your tutorials very helpful thank you! Question.. When moving side to side or backwards in the FPP perspective I get a camera shake , I see there are some comments below with the same issue. Anyway around this?

great thanks

Thx!

thanks man

[@MukulchSarma-tp3oe]

You're just OSM

[@madcio]

Better to add and use socket of head bone of skeleton used in character. And in my opinion instead of moving and rotating camera it is better to move/rotate socket attached to head bone. BTW nothing stops player from looking straight down with undesirable results. Video does not address that.

[@alexanderguevara5603]

Muy buen video amigo, lo felicito, un buen me gusta para usted. mis saludos

[@DeBaRe]

THX for your helpful video! One question tho; does this work with Metahuman too? My cam seems to follow the body not the head; head is not even moving I think..

[@stinkyfart5892]

[@user-ek9cj3es1i]

hello,i recently watch a lot of videos about unreal engine to creat a item inspection,so i been inspired about if i use line trace in a inspection UI that i can use mouse drag the item aim an position to acquire a keycard or some props,but i don't how to do, and it's really a big trouble to me .so please,bigwig mat.can you make a tutorial series about line trace in inspection UI？

[@arian6565]

legend

[@Dawschitz]

Good video, thanks. I'm doing a TES-style project and I'm having trouble. Namely, from the line trace channel. I can connect either FP camera or TP camera to this function. If I set up the trace from 1st person, then everything is fine in camera mode. But if I switch to the 3rd person, then it is difficult to "hit" the subject. How can I change the camera source for the trace channel (and beam length) depending on the camera mode?

[@SamuTheFrog]

I experimented out of curiosity, and I found it was easier to start the toggle function out with a Flip Flop node. Then no check is needed, just swap between the two.

[@m.g.frosty5935]

I found second problem in this project ... when you are in FPS mode walking back causes shaking of the screen. Because in Third Person when you push "S" the person walk to camery with face but in FPS it should walk back.

[@bartoszgrzegocki4618]

Thanks

[@neozoid7009]

Super awesome 👍 But can I Aim down sight with a Gun In FP mode??

[@m.g.frosty5935]

Could be there some setting some limits for Yaw of Camera? I made it according your video. GREAT tutorial, thank you very much. But when I look down I see throw mesh of character and I would like somehow put the limit there so if player is in FPS he can not look directly down let say just 10° or 5°.

[@m.g.frosty5935]

@@LyonnGames I do not have it, I asked for it Matt Aspland... but no responce... I would need it too. :)

[@salsalvador8317]

@@m.g.frosty5935 have you tried get player camera manager -> set view yaw max/min?

[@user-bx4ui2me6m]

👍👍👍

[@edilsantos9671]

[@Bike.adventure]

Your explanation is really nice, but if you made the camera look to the right and left, it would be better, but thank you

[@imdarkest2006]

my character starts absurd motions and inverted controls problem when i switch from first person to third person camera and make the character stand for a while.

[@jason_tarr]

I had a bug where in confined spaces the camera would make the walls become invisible. It was due to the collision test on the camera boom and was resolved by getting the 'Camera Boom' component and setting 'Do Collision Test' to 'False' for first person then back to 'True' for Third Person mode.

[@digitalsyanide1746]

Now do it on the lyra template or will this also work?

[@vus1359]

What blueprint animator do you use when your character is the bp_thirdperson?

[@MattAspland]

I use the default "ThirdPersonAnimBP"

[@gaming4K]

When i did this few month ago my crosshair was off from the point i was shooting at. My gun was only shooting where my first camera was aiming xD

[@torstaken]

Can you show how to make ai animations for the ai series in ue5 because the animations aren't working for me?

[@gigasoftgaming]

Is there a way to disable head bobbing? In my game I would like to allow the player to disable it after if they like in my options

[@christianvalessina837]

beautiful video, you can make a tutorial on how to zombie waves with the zombie skin, the bar of life lowering every voltw that a zombie hits you? in unreal engine 4

[@dreadtrain2846]

Very specific lol

[@80TheMadLord08]

So you're basically asking if Matt can show you how to make your game.

He has separated tutorials explaining everything you just asked

please help me to make a football game, how to kick, pass, dribble, then the ball can roll and other basic techniques also make a scoreboard.

[@MartKart8]

I tried to follow the advice you gave me, to stop crouching when swimming, "I.e Crouch Input>Branch (with condition of Get character movement, get movement mode, is swimming)>True do nothing, False go into your crouch code." Sorry I got confused when attaching it to the crouch, I ended up not being able to crouch

[@MattAspland]

Hey Martin, I've responded to your email RE this :)

[@Im_pro_true16]

can this also work in ue4

[@Cyberpunk_RZ]

I have in my character a third person and first person camera perspective that you can switch.... My question is can I adjust the cam connection so that the movements of the cam are a little softer. currently when running the cam shakes so much that I get sick. Where and how can I adjust this?

[@iRobert]

I also wait for a UE5 Tutorial for this smooth movement. :)

[@IllGib]

In the camera boom there's a lag option, maybe with a 0 length you can fake a fps camera with the lag enanchements?

[@Cyberpunk_RZ]

@@IllGib emm ok

[@elious611]

I've been having this problem where in first person mode if you move your mouse to look backwards the character doesn't move with it so the camera shows it, is there a way to fix that?

[@thatguy2920]

Same! Any fix you found?

[@elious611]

@@thatguy2920 yes actually, i found a fix

[@thatguy2920]

@@elious611 can you tell how you fixed it plz? I haven’t worked on first person for a bit but that would really help me out and I’d appreciate it 😅

[@Skyrim973]

The only thing left to do is add an animation to the character when rotates.

[@The.adrianm]

First! FINALLY!

[@LukeZeppelin]

why is there camera boom and not spring arm?

[@user-cy9qi8kj2g]

God is here

[@donaldkohalisky1427]

I cant move the camera after I attached it to the head socket

[@elementalflow2186]

while on the First person mode, if u walk backwards the camera gets really weird :( it shakes waaay too much, any way to fix it ?

[@AdiCatuna]

when changing to first person, disable the character movement's component "orient rotation to movement" re-enable it when switching to third person

[@theuniversetraveller]

Hello Everyone! Don't know if anyone reads this, but if you reverse the camera order (make FPP as starting camera) then the control Yaw will not apply unless you switch to TPP and back. Is there any solution for this where we can implement control Yaw before the switch?

[@theuniversetraveller]

NVM, fount it immediately. For anyone who might need, just apply the same node at the end of mouse turn left/right input controls

[@theuniversetraveller]

It essentially makes the Yaw control always active, so depends if you need it or no

[@hariharansenthilkumar4724]

what if we put more than 2 cameras

May I know why my character can't look down?

how do you remove third person character in unreal engine?

hi

[@mwadewda7974]

Just use a flip flop node.
