Resident Evil Camera System in Unreal Engine (UE5) — Part 6: Weapon Aiming & Aim Offsets
Welcome back to my Resident Evil Camera System series in Unreal Engine!
In Part 6, we’re adding classic Resident Evil–style weapon aiming, inspired by Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil Remake. We’ll implement a full aiming system that lets the player aim up and down, rotate while aiming, and smoothly drive a 1D Aim Offset, all while working cleanly with fixed cameras, tank controls, and modern controls.
