◻️Ads Modifier
Overview
Ads Modifier is used to procedurally aim down sights.
Inputs
Aim Point is a transform that will be aligned with your camera. It's possible to bind an external value to this property (e.g., aim point transform provided by the weapon).
Is Aiming defines if the aiming or not. It's recommended to bind here a value from a player controller or a weapon.
Bones
Weapon Bone is the bone will be translated and rotated to align sights with the camera. By default, it's set to IK weapon_bone.
Hip Target Bone is a bone that will be used to compute additive aiming. By default, it's set to the IK weapon_bone_r.
Aim Target Bone is a bone will be used as an aiming target. Usually, it is a camera socket attached to the head.
ADS Blends
Position/Rotation Blend Blend between absolute and additive aiming.
Aiming Speed: Playrate of the aiming transition.
Aiming Ease Mode: Interpolation function for the aiming transition.
Aim Point Speed: Speed of changing the aim point transform.
Aim Point Ease Mode: Interpolation function for the aim point transition.
Camera Blend: If set to 0, the weapon will be moved to aim down sights. If set to 1, the camera will be moved instead.
Use-cases
This modifier is commonly used for aiming down sights (ADS). There are 2 types of aiming:
Absolute: completely overrides the base pose, keeping the sights always aligned.
Additive: applies on top of the base pose, keeping the animations, but not always aligning sights.
Using blend values for different translation and rotation axes can give a nice effect when playing animations in the ADS mode.
Tip: For example, when playing a reload animation, it is necessary to propagate some motion to the aiming pose — adjusting blend factors will help with that.
