🔹Character Camera
This page explains how camera is animated in CAS.
Overview
Character Animation System features a simple camera component that supports:
First- and third-person views.
Camera stabilization in first-person mode.
Camera shakes.
Smooth FOV updates.
Inputs
Input properties to control the camera.
Yaw and Pitch Input — horizontal and vertical input values.
Is Aiming — whether player is aiming.
Is Crouching — whether player is crouching or standing.
Is First Person — defines current view mode.
Use Right Shoulder — defines anchor shoulder.
View Smoothing — interpolation speed.
Transforms
Source transforms.
First Person Socket — camera will follow this transform when in first-person.
Camera Animation Source — animated transform that will be used to animate camera.
Offsets
Camera offsets for different situations.
Camera offsets are represented as struct properties:
Offset — position offset relative to the pivot point.
Pivot — pivot point offset relative to the origin.
Tip: Character Camera uses player transform as origin
Camera Collision
Tracing properties to avoid camera clipping with obstacles.
Trace Radius — sphere trace radius.
Trace Interp Speed — camera smoothing speed when adjusting for collision.
Trace Mask — what collision layers will be used.
FOV
Use this method to update target field-of-view:
Camera Shakes
Shakes are fire-and-forget type of motions that can are played at runtime to simulate hits or recoil:
X — rotation motion around X axis.
Y — rotation motion around Y axis.
Z — rotation motion around Z axis.
Pitch, Yaw Roll — Vector4 shake value range.
Play Rate — playback speed multiplier.
Smooth Speed — interpolation speed.
Tip: A shake value is computed as a random between Mathf.Random(ragne.x, range.y) and Mathf.Random(range.z, range.w).
Use this function to play camera shakes from code:
