Changing input by Camera mode

FlexiCam character uses Camera Mode's Gameplay Tags to modify Player Input.

It made in DoMove function:

void AFlexiCamCharacter::DoMove(float Right, float Forward)
{
    //... Some previous logic

        // See if we have to modify movement based on camera mode
        UFlexiCameraModeManagerComponent* CameraModeManager = GetFlexiCameraModeManagerComponent_Implementation();

        if (!CameraModeManager)
        {
            // add full movement 
            AddMovementInput(ForwardDirection, Forward);
            AddMovementInput(RightDirection, Right);
            return;
        }

        // check if CameraMode has tag to disable forward movement
        FGameplayTagContainer CheckContainer;
        CheckContainer.AddTag(TAG_SideScrollingMovement);

        if (CameraModeManager->HasAnyTagOnStack(CheckContainer))
        {
            AddMovementInput(RightDirection, Right);
        }
        else
        {
            // add full movement 
            AddMovementInput(ForwardDirection, Forward);
            AddMovementInput(RightDirection, Right);
        }
    }
}
