Shooter Procedural Aiming

Character-Gun-AnimBP setups that automatically align gun sights when aiming. A solution for aiming down sights without specific anims. For 1P, 3P or True 1P view.

Note: this asset was made for guns attached to the hand_r bone, not the ik_hand_r or ik_hand_gun bones

-Four separate setups - two for Arms-Only 1st Person and two for Full-Body (True) 1st Person or 3rd Person. Each setup is comprised of a separate Character-Gun-AnimBP set

-No aiming animation required, simple idle animations become aiming animations with sights aligned when aiming

-Full-body character with no invisible or separated parts (only one mesh)

-Full-body character uses only one set of anims for all views

-Reload while aiming and reload not aiming with only one anim sequence

(only anims, no actual ammo code included)

-Multiple sights on the gun

-Fire while aiming and fire not aiming

(only anims, no actual ammo code included)

-Walk aim sway

-Static or skeletal mesh guns and sights

-Camera must be within reach of the arms for the alignment to work.
