Lock-On feature

The Lock-On feature enables the camera to focus on a target. On a certain input, the system will make an overlap cast and filter for any hits that have a TargetableCustomTag, encoded in PhysicsCustomTags. To make an object targetable, add a TPC_Targetable_Authoring. Additionally, targets can be cycled with 2 defined keys for previous/next.

These are the available options:

Basic settings

• Cast Radius

  The radius that will be used for the overlapCast to determine possible targets in range.

• Rotation Speed

  How fast the camera should align to the locked-on target.

• Default Offset

  Applies an additional vector to the target position for the camera to focus on. In case a TPC_TargetableOffset_Authoring has been set, the default offset will be ignored.

• Normalize Height

  When enabled, the direction to the target will just be on the X/Z plane and any height differences will be ignored.

• Disable Time

  The default time in seconds the system will disable 'Smooth Pivot' when the player has input in FreeLook.

Targetables sorting settings

• Default Distance

  A default distance value to handle targetables sorting. Increase when game world and distances are very large.

• Angle Weight

  A weight value to handle targetables sorting. Increase to prefer angles over distance.

• Distance Weight

  A weight value to handle targetables sorting. Increase to prefer distance over angles.

Extra settings

• Forward from target

  Use the forward vector of the target to find the nearest Targetable. Default is the camera forward vector.
