Using Orbit Camera Devices

The Camera: Orbit (Orbit Camera) device provides a view that follows a target player character but that the player can rotate to freely look around.

This camera differs from a Fixed Point Camera device, where the camera maintains a set location, and a Fixed Angle Camera device, where the camera moves in sync with the player at a locked angle that provides a consistent perspective. The orbit camera follows the player, but the player can still rotate the view to see in different directions without turning.

You can use a Third Person Controls device with this camera, but it also works without it.

To learn more about how to use the camera and control devices together, see Designing with Cameras and Controls.

For help on finding the Orbit Camera device in Creative, see Using Devices. To find this device in UEFN, open the Content Drawer and click Fortnite > Devices > !Beta.
