Camera Mode Trigger

An actor that triggers switching of FlexiCam camera modes when target actor enters or exits its volume.

Key Features

  • Uses a UBoxComponent as a trigger volume to detect overlapping actors

  • Automatically sets the camera mode on overlapping actors that implement the IFlexiCamInterface

  • Resets camera mode to default when actors leave the trigger volume

Components

  • TriggerVolume (UBoxComponent): The box collision volume that detects overlaps and triggers camera mode changes
  • EditorIcon (UBillboardComponent, editor only): Visual representation in editor to mark trigger position

Properties

  • CameraModeClass (TSubclassOf<UFlexiCameraMode>): The camera mode class to activate when an actor enters the trigger

Methods

  • GetCameraModeManagerComponent(AActor* Actor): Helper that gets the UFlexiCameraModeManagerComponent from an actor implementing IFlexiCamInterface
    UFlexiCameraModeManagerComponent* GetCameraModeManagerComponent(AActor* Actor) const;

Usage

  1. Place AFlexiCameraModeTrigger actors in the level with box collision defining the area
  2. Set the CameraModeClass to the desired FlexiCam mode to activate inside the trigger
  3. Ensure that player or relevant actors implement IFlexiCamInterface
  4. When such an actor overlaps the trigger, the camera mode switches; when it leaves, it resets to default
