Free Look

The Free Look feature enables the camera to orbit around a target. It is the only feature that is not optional.

These are the available options:

Basic settings

• Enable Free Look

  Wether the player can orbit the camera around. Disable in cutscenes, for example or when user input is locked. This is a global flag. Another, more granular option for orbiting can be set with "Free Look Mode".

• Free Look Mode

  The 2 options are Input or Always. Input means that Free Look requires an input to orbit around. For example, left mouse button. Always should be self explainatory and is in most cases the default option for gamepads. However, there's a built in override for gamepads because some games enable it to switch between keyboard/mouse and gamepad on the fly. It would be awkward to expect an input when the player wants to orbit around with the gamepad, so gamepad input always uses "Always".

• Rotation Speed X/Y

  Adjusts the sensitivity of orbiting around.

• Minimum/Maximum Angle

  The minimum/maximum angle you can either look down or up
  Stationary settings

Extra settings

• Smoothing

  Enables smoothing for the camera rotation when looking around. Beware, introduces interpolation lag.

• Smooth Speed

  The speed at which the camera will lerp to the final rotation.

• Force Character Direction

  Sets the targets Y-axis to have the same Y rotation as the camera forcing the camera to always look in the same direction as the camera.

• Looking Backwards Enabled

  Enables looking backward when pressing the according input.

• Mouse Hide Mode

  Options are None, OnInput, Always. Will automatically hide and lock the mouse to the current position.
