v1.6.2-5.2

Small improvements and bug fixes.

v1.6.1-5.3

Hotfix 1.6.1.1

TargetComponent:

• Fixed AssociatedComponentName not showing bp-created components for default subobject.

Update 1.6.1

The update is aimed to support initial setup of the plugin via C++ and fix existing issues.

LockOnTargetComponent:

• Modified input settings to support Xbox controllers.
• Added the SetDefaultTargetHandler() and AddDefaultExtension() methods that can be used during construction.
• Reduced update overhead when there's no captured Target.

TargetComponent:

• Moved CaptureRadius and LostOffsetRadius settings to WeightedTargetHandler for convenient centralized editing.
• Added bForceCustomCaptureRadius and CustomCaptureRadius settings to modify the default CaptureRadius from WeightedTargetHandler.
• Added Set/GetDefaultSocket() methods to change the first Socket, which can be used for faster access if the Target contains a single Socket.
• Removed runtime validation for added sockets.
• Fixed display of AssociatedComponentName and Sockets in details for native created TargetComponent.
• Removed the hard binding of AssociatedComponent to MeshComponent.
• Reworked AssociatedComponent initialization to support use during construction.

WeightedTargetHandler:

• Fixed possible zero division in CalculateTargetWeight().
• Renamed MinDistance to NearClipRadius.
• Added DefaultCaptureRadius and LostRadiusScale public properties.

ControllerRotationExtension:

• Added input blocking feature.

PawnRotationExtension:

• Removed RotationRate clamping to allow instant turns.

WidgetExtension:

• Added a property that allows the widget to be displayed only for local players.

TargetPreviewExtension:

• Switched to using the ExtensionTick for UpdateRate rather than processing it manually.

v1.6.0-5.3

Update 1.6.0

The update is aimed at polishing existing systems, fixing bugs, improving performance, stability, usability.

Important:

• The 'Modules' concept has been renamed to 'Extensions' to avoid confusion with C++20 modules and UBT modules.
• All references to modules have been replaced with extension.
• Some classes, properties and methods have been renamed to conform Epic's coding standard.
• ThirdPersonTargetHandler has been renamed to WeightedTargetHanler to emphasize the way it works.
• Improved the performance of WeightedTargetHandler::FindTarget() by about 20-50% when there are a large number of Targets(100+).

LockOnTargetComponent:

• Fixed the listen server being unable to capture a Target.
• Fixed multiple sequential Target captures when the world is tearing down.
• Fixed extension initialization in multiplayer.
• Removed update dispatching for extension as extensions have their own tick function.
• Added native NotifyOnTargetNotFound callback.

TargetComponent:

• All references to TrackedMeshComponent have been replaced with AssociatedComponent to emphasize the relationship to it.
• Changed FocusPointRelativeOffset relative space from world to Actor.
• Added TargetPriority property to designate some Targets as more or less priority.

TargetHandlerBase:

• Changed FindTarget() contract.
• Added FFindTargetRequestParams struct with customizable params for the FindTarget() request.
• Added FFindTargetRequestResponse struct with detailed data received as a result of the FindTarget() request.
• Removed deprecated HandleTargetEndPlay() and HandleSocketRemoval() methods.
• Removed the unimplemented() assertion in FindTarget() default implementation to avoid editor crashes.

WeightedTargetHandler:

• The old sequential Target finding method has been replaced by a batched method with 4 separate passes.
• Replaced IsTargetableCustom() and PostModifierCheck() with a single ShouldSkipTargetCustom() which is executed lazily.
• Added a UWeightedTargetHandlerDetailedResponse payload object with the data used while finding.
• Added new properties to FindTargetContext and TargetContext.
• Added TargetPriorityWeight.

LockOnTargetExtensionBase:

• Added a native ExtensionTick property allowing to customize tick settings and use prerequisites.
• Added Get/SetTickEnabled() for manual control of tick execution.

LockOnTargetExtensions:

• ControllerRotationExtension has been completely rewritten to take advantage of new opportunities since the 1.5.0 release.
• Added new properties such as prediction, oscillation smoothing, dead zone, easing and others.
• Fixed 1 frame lag when using SpringArmComponent.
• Fixed infinite rotation around a close Target.
• Replaced ActorRotationModule with a new PawnRotationExtension using a movement component.
• InterpolationSpeed, which has an inconsistent rotation speed, has been replaced with RotationRate working similarly to CharacterMovementComponent rotation.
• Fixed a glitch when using a spring arm. ActorRotationModule was ticking after the spring arm component, causing it to apply the parent transform.
• CameraZoomModule has been replaced with CameraModifierExtension that allows you to use any camera effects using a built in UCameraModifier.
• Added LockOnTargetCameraModifier_Zoom camera modifier to smoothly change the camera FOV.
• Removed the LOT_FOV_Curve asset used by CameraZoomModule.

GameplayDebugger:

• Renamed the class name to comply the Epic standard.
• Removed screen boundary box drawing.
• Slightly reorganized the displayed information.

Profiling:

• Removed preprocessor macro LOT_INSIGHTS.
• Added 'LockOnTarget' channel. To enable it, use -trace=lockontarget in the command line options.
• Added more timers.
