Easy Combat Softlock System
Dynamic Targeting & Smooth Combat Control for Unreal Engine
The Easy Combat Softlock System allows your character to search, rotate toward, and optionally move to a target using five different targeting modes while remaining flexible and fluid in multi-enemy combat.
Unlike traditional hard-lock systems, the Softlock only locks onto a target for a brief moment and smoothly rotates or repositions the character toward it. This enables precise combat without being tied to a single enemy, while still working perfectly for 1 on 1 encounters.

Blueprint Only - Designed for Easy Integration
The system can be used:
directly in Blueprints
or triggered through Animation Notifies
This gives you full control to search and validate targets inside any animation — wherever you need it.
Setup takes about 2 minutes, yet the system offers a wide range of configuration options to adapt it to your combat mechanics and gameplay style.
Double-Layer Targeting System
Two search layers can be active at the same time:
If the first targeting method fails, the second one takes over automatically.
