How to create a smooth camera zoom?

Hello dear community,
i found a pretty cool tutorial problem is that it’s not that clear for me.
[Source Link][1]

Step 1
I’m stuck here, i don’t know what he clicked because i don’t have “Camera” in my “Top-Down Project”.

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

What a day) two questions about zooming from the same person)

Have you tried this?

You will find that there is the same handling.

Copy and pasting answers won’t help me, i use Top Down not 3rd/First Person angles. I need to zoom TO the character and rotate around him.

Check out the SmoothZoomPlugin I created… Should work for you just fine…

If you need any help with installation, I’ve got a discord channel… see in the forum thread.

Good luck.

Please do not mark both as completed… I would delete the other answerhub post and work with this one. Thanks!

Hi, since this thread is the first one that comes up when you google for a solution for a neat scrolly camera movement-

C++ plugin is awesome, but if for whatever reason someone might wanna prefer blueprints - i sat down and prepared a nice bowl of spaghetti that should get the job done more or less. (in my case i’m working with a relative x axis camera location - but a spring arm target arm length would work just as well)

please feel free to optimize - since i’m not a particularly good coder lol

(incase the link is dead, i’ll attach a .txt file that you should be able to just copy-paste)
