UDK camera clipping through walls

letronrael

Hey guys.

I'm part of a team working on a prototype game for iOS / PC and we have kind of an issue right now. It is not URGENT but it will need to be adressed so I thought asking here on polycount.

So here is the problem:

I use a camera_actor in the level editor, and its attached to my pawn in the kismet. My problem is that the camera is going through every single mesh and its super annoying. I tried multiple things like attaching a collision to the camera and etc.

See my website for the video of the super early prototype PAWN SWAP (we are way more advanced than that) :

So my question is : Is there a way that i could make the camera NOT go trhough the wall without creating my own classes (cause I use UDKGame gametype) Is there a way to just change something in the UTcamera_actor class or something like that?

THank you in advance

Just put the collision a bit away form the camera, not at the same place as the camera. This should work.( And attach the camera to the collision, not the collision to the camera.)

Its not working, I tried attaching the way you said, the collision follows the camera that follows my pawn but my camera is still going trhough objects and walls.

Can you do a trace on the camera against collide with world geometry then get the hit vector and adjust?

Do this in an if else state to return camera position?
