Variables and customization

Third Person Character:

-The character has 2 Collision Boxes called “InitialPosition” which mark where the Cameraman has to place himself when he needs to find a new position. They can be moved to choose a new one.

-The character has a Collision Box called “Target” which tells the Cameraman where to point the Camera at. It can be moved to adjust how the Cameraman targets the objective.

Cameraman:

-The Cameraman has a collision sphere called “Space” which tells the Cameraman when he is too close, it can be scaled to adjust the distance.

-The variable HowClose tells the Cameraman how close he has to get when chasing the Player’s Pawn.

-The variable MinimumDistance tells the Cameraman when he needs to get closer to the Player.

-If the variable JumpwhenFail is True the Cameraman jumps if he fails trying to reach a point, which sometimes solves the problem.

HUD Widget:

-If the variable ShowRealFPS is True the HUD shows the estimated Frame Rate of the game.

-If the variable ShowHP is True the HUD shows the Health bars of both characters.
