Enumerations

This section describes all enumerations used throughout the PloxTools: Third Person Camera plugin.

Enumerations define fixed sets of values used to configure camera behavior, select runtime modes, and describe system state across the plugin. They are used consistently in both Blueprint and C++ workflows.

Each enumeration is documented with its possible values and a clear description of its purpose and usage context.

Camera Control

ECameraResetMode

Defines how the camera should reset when ResetCameraRotation is used.

This enumeration controls whether the camera returns behind the character or back to its initial setup rotation.

Value	Description
BehindCharacter	Resets the camera to align behind the character's facing direction.
InitialRotation	Resets the camera back to its initial rotation.

ECameraRotationOverrideMode

Defines how player input interacts with a system-driven camera rotation.

This enumeration is used when the camera is rotating toward a target through SetCameraRotation.

Value	Description
IgnoreInput	Camera rotation is fully controlled by the system. Player input is ignored during the rotation.
BlendWithInput	Camera rotates toward the target while still allowing player input to influence the result.
CancelOnInput	Camera rotates toward the target, but any player input immediately cancels the rotation.

Focus

EFocusTargetType

Defines what kind of target the Focus system is currently using.

This enumeration is used internally and in event data to describe whether focus is pointing to an Actor, Component, Socket, or world-space location.

Value	Description
None	No focus target is active.
Actor	Focus is set to an Actor.
Component	Focus is set to a specific Scene Component.
Socket	Focus is set to a socket on an Actor.
Location	Focus is set to a world location.

EFocusLostReason

Represents the reason why the current focus session ended.

This enumeration is used by focus events and callbacks to describe how or why focus was cleared.

Value	Description
Manual	Focus was cleared manually through `ClearFocus`.
Distance	Focus was cleared because the target exceeded the allowed distance.
Visibility	Focus was cleared because the target remained invisible for too long.
Invalid	Focus was cleared because the target became invalid, for example when an Actor or Component was destroyed.
Interrupted	Focus was replaced by a new focus target without passing through an inactive state.

EFocusMode

Defines how the camera behaves while focus is active.

This enumeration controls whether the camera is fully locked to the target or whether the player is still allowed to influence the view.

Value	Description
HardLock	Camera rotation is fully locked to the focus target with no player influence.
SoftLock	Camera is guided toward the focus target while still allowing player input.

Spline

EThirdPersonCameraSplineMode

Defines how the camera moves along a spline.

This enumeration controls whether spline playback is driven by time or by the character's projected position along the spline.

Value	Description
Timed	Camera moves along the spline using time-based playback independent of the character.
Tethered	Camera position is driven by the character location projected onto the spline.

EThirdPersonCameraSplineTetherType

Defines how tethered spline movement behaves relative to the character.

This enumeration is only relevant when spline mode is set to Tethered.

Value	Description
Default	Camera follows the character projection on the spline without additional constraints.
KeepMinimumDistanceBehind	Ensures the camera stays at least a minimum distance behind the character along the spline.
KeepMinimumDistanceAhead	Ensures the camera stays at least a minimum distance ahead of the character along the spline.
