Advanced Aim Component allows you to achieve nice and smooth aiming effect by simply adding this to your character as a component. It also give you fast-setup targeting system as well as free aiming and sniper scope support. Everything is ready to use and all you have to do, is setup some variables and character controls. Moreover, most features can work together, so you can combine them and make really awesome feel of your game. Component works similar way to CharacterMovement Component. That means, that whole logic implements into your character automatically, all you have to do is pass inputs values and some references into component.
Everything is written with blueprints and there is no C++ code. Graphs, functions, macros and variables are commented, so you can easily add or edit functionality of the component.
This will be very useful for First Person games, where you want to have nice feeling camera turning or targeting systems (Targeting will work great with gamepad).
