Hey guys, in today's video I'm going to be showing you how to stop the third person camera from clipping through walls, floors, and any other objects.

The main detail to change on the spring arm to enable collision so that this works is the "Camera Collsion -> Do Collision Test [Checked]"

[FlashheadX]

Spring arms are great! If you set its rotation to "absolute rotation", you can use it in a side scroller because it won't move when the character turns around.

At this point, I’ll just follow ur vids to make a whole damned game. Honestly these tutorials would carry me through it!

Great video again. Saviour in need and always somehow exactly uploading what I just need.

[RtxRob]

Select Camera Boom -> Setting -> "Camera Collision -> Do Collision Test [Checked]" + "probe channel" to "Visibility".

Hi, Matt,
This is second time I left message on your channel. I just discovered that I need the "Do Collision Test" in "Camera Collision" to match your behavior. And it wasn't default by me becase I had my C++ character imported from many version ago. Thank you.

[skeletongames]

Great tutorial. I would to ask, can you make motorcycle tutorial for third person, please.

[KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

Do you have a wee Tutorial on how to set up Quinn to walk by default please. I the Quang Phan's Humanbase and he has a walk hold shift to run but I not sure how I'd copy his movment into the new BP from use with Quinn

[dmytrogladkyi]

thanks! I have moved camera location instead of the Spring offset and that's why it did not work!

[soulshard]

Yo, could you create a tutorial of mapping a PS4/PS5 controller (hell even make UE5 register input from PlayStation controllers) to UE5 with the new IMC? It would be awesome if you could.

[overlandgames]

what to do with a camera that is top down and has buildings with roofs? if the collision detection happens at the end of the spring arm, if the spring arm is 800 units high, and the rooftop is only 400 units high, the camera stays above the roof top, is there a way to detect collision along the sring arm and bring the camera down below that spot?

[GamePrototypes]

Yo, mat! Is there any way to make the collision smoother? Look at max payne 1 and to for reference. It kinda looks like the spring arm is on a cone instead of just a line with a dot. I've been thinking about a system with a bunch of linetraces but can't get my head around it. Would love to get your input on this!

[PatrickTheDM]

I have not encountered this, but if I do I know where to look. I was thinking it was collision settings on the meshes at first and trying to guess how something like that could even happen.

[thesinglegoblin]

Great vid thanks, are there any videos or comments on what to do once the camera enters the 3rd person character's body? What I mean is when the method in your video is applied it will work until the character is standing right next to the wall and when you rotate the arm around eventually it will clip inside the 3rd PC's mesh to prevent itself from colliding with the wall.

[choker]

Finally I have found the video that doesn’t have those!!!

[Evan-rjxy]

Is it possible to keep the camera in the same place, but sorta cut through whatever geometry is in the way?
Lots of games just take whatever object is in the way and turn it transparent, but I swear I've seen games with a cutout effect so you can always see your character, even behind walls and stuff.

[RolyPolyGames]

Any advice on solving this for first person cameras?

[corvidgamesstudio]

I am trying to find a way to make it so it doesnt zoom when colliding but instead rotates. Bc my camera is over the shoulder view so zooming in just makes the annoying zoom in effect.

[frost]

how would I make collision not true on some certain overhead objects (example - Third Person Perspective, a mesh roofed army tent so you're just looking through the mesh then)? trying to figure this out and its messing with my brain.. lol

when i turn my camera, the player is like ahead on one axis, so when i look at one direction its okay but when i turn my camera at the opposite direction, my character is inside the camera, like the center of the camera rotation isnt the character
