Motion Camera Component

The Motion Camera Component is a new addition that ships with Motion 1.5. It implements OnGetCameraView to provide the following functionality:

• Collision detection and prevention to avoid camera clipping into geometry.

• Camera Location & Rotation offset application based on curves and static offsets provided from other components.

Configuration

Variable	Description
Camera Target Offset	Defines the positional offset (Time) the camera should have at a given camera angle (Value). You can open the external curve that is linked by default and edit it while Play-In-Editor is running to see your changes in real-time!
Camera Minimum Distance to Obstacle if Obstructed	The distance (in units) the camera should have to an obstacle (usually a wall) that the camera cannot get closer to when it's being obstructed.
Camera Trace Distance to Obstacle	How far away (in units) the camera should "feel" (Ray Trace) if there is an obstacle in the way.
Camera Obstruction Smooth In Time	The amount of time the camera should use to move (if needed), if something is in the way. This is not instant to avoid sudden shifts in camera position.
Camera Obstruction Smooth Out Time	The amount of time the camera should use to move back, when something stopped being in the way of it. This is not instant to avoid sudden shifts in camera position.
View Pitch Min / Max	The Minimum / Maximum Pitch (moving camera up and down) the camera can be moved at. Useful to avoid the player to look down / up too much
Show Debug Information	If true, various useful variables will be printed on the screen to help with debugging.
