Build the gameplay camera. Reuse the cinematic shot flow.

Agentic Gameplay Camera is a state-driven third-person camera system for Unreal Engine 5.8, built on Epic's GameplayCameras plugin. It extends Unreal's camera-rig architecture instead of replacing it with a parallel camera system.

Sample Project

Gameplay cameras that respond to state

Author camera distance, field of view, pitch and offsets per gameplay state. Start with five authored modes — Exploration, Combat Melee, Combat Ranged, Aim Bow and Combat Lockon — and combine ten behavior modifiers: Focus, Yaw Follow, Pitch Follow, Pitch Scale, Look Ahead, Idle Reset, Shake, Constraints, Awareness and Rig. Pose channels blend between states, and camera steering coordinates with player input.

Gameplay JSON/CSV tables round-trip through DataTables and camera-mode DataAssets, so you can author editor-first or data-first.

Focus, lock-on and Awareness

The Focus modifier and Awareness consume the AgenticTargeting target source when that optional companion plugin is installed and enabled. The camera works standalone without it — no purchase or install required; the integration switches on automatically.

Reusable cinematic ShotFlows — experimental

Author an ordered shot sequence as one ShotFlow asset. Subjects bind by role, so the same flow replays with a different cast. Shape shots with subject framing, physical lens settings, movement models and post-transform corrections; advance segments by duration, signals or external continuation. Two example flows included: dialogue shot/reverse-shot and combat execution. Play from code, a Sequencer flow section, or the editor Stage.

Rehearse and inspect

Stage rehearsal, capture, flow traces and evaluation show what the camera actually did. Editor toolsets expose authoring and inspection to compatible tools through Unreal's official MCP integration. Evaluation is diagnostic assistance, not a guarantee of cinematic quality.

Also in the box

C++ source and editor authoring tools, gameplay authoring tables and camera-mode DataAssets, Sequencer integration, the editor Stage, and the generated AI-facing camera schema.

Requirements and status

Unreal Engine 5.8. Enable GameplayCameras, EnhancedInput, DrawDebugLibrary and LevelSequenceEditor; ToolsetRegistry is optional. Gameplay is Beta; ShotFlow is Experimental and its API and asset layout may change. The JSON/CSV round-trip is a gameplay-authoring feature; the cinematic catalog JSON is export-only. Promotional showcase environments and characters are not included in the plugin download. This is a camera plugin, not a dialogue, character-animation or narrative system.
