I’m looking for a way to change the field of view over time so it doesnt happen instantly and look sloppy, so that it matches up with my overtime transition of the zoom itself
Look at this other answer:
Ease between two float values over time? - Programming & Scripting - Epic Developer Community Forums
It uses timelines to lerp (blend) between two positions – you can use the same type of setup to blend between two field of view values.
