Description: Triggerable camera for third person cinematics. How to use this class:
+ Place in a level. + Connect to a trigger. + Set InitialState (TriggerToggle, TriggerControl, TriggerTimed) - Set TimerDuration for TriggerTimed. + Set Event to the Actor the camera will focus on. - If no event is set, the camera uses the player that triggered the camera as its focus. - Set bDirectional if you would rather the direction align with the rotation the camera is placed with in UnrealEd. + Set SpeedFactor to adjust how fast the camera moves from the triggerer to the DesiredLocation (location placed in the editor). If SpeedFactor is zero, the camera will instantaeously move to the desired location. + Set FollowTag (under Events) to the Tag of some Actor in your level if you want the camera to follow that Actor around. (Defaults to the location that you placed the camera in the level.) -- example: Tag a moving brush. + Set the RetractSpeedFactor to match how fast you want the camera to retract. Like SpeedFactor, larger numbers means the camera goes slower, zero mean instantaeous. + RetractAccel ensures that the camera will eventually overtake the player. This prevents the player from being able to out-run the camera when it is retracting. Set this to a high number if you want the camera to overtake the player faster. Also, remember that you can use a lower RetractSpeedFactor if you just want the camera to feel faster. + Set bRotRetract to false if you just want the camera to zoom into the player's head. If this variable is set to true, the rotation of the camera will try to match that of the player's view rotation to give a more seamless perspective change.
