Hey! I just started exploring the Invector Melee controller and not fully understand the basic possibilities. What is the proper and cheapest way to build a switch to free strafe? I mean a strafe locomotion that not oriented to the locked target, but just looked forward with camera direction?
The way I'm thinking about is to create the invisible distant target object, attach it to camera and give it a "lock on" tag, so it's always be a something to lock on in the front. But I feel like I'm inventing a bicycle with a square wheels.

The video shows just a regular strafe movement, isn't?
Hmm... Sorry but I'm still not understanding what you're trying to do, the title says without lock-on but your first post says that you want to use it?

Sorry but I'm still not understanding what you're trying to do, the title says without lock-on but your first post says that you want to use it? Let me ask in another way: how to turn on the regular strafe movement? When I create a default character it should be turned on by tab key, right? But it doesn't work for me  It works only when there is an enemy in the scene and my character lock-on on this enemy (and strafe around the enemy). But I want just a regular strafe movement, like in the video. I build this strafe movement in a complicated way with side scripts, but I thought it should be the way to just have it by default with native invector? |

Basically I think he's asking if he can turn on strafing using a keyboard input. He's trying to achieve lock on like behavior without actually locking on to an enemy I think.

Yes. I just want to have a strafing motion. Without enemy lock on.
I build it but in a complex way, but I suppose it should be a simple one.

ok, I just found that character created with "Basic locomotion>Create Basic Controller" have a strafing motion working out of the box. And "Melee Combat>Create Basic Controller" doesn't. Because of "Lock on" component. So, after deleting Lock-on component from melee controller- I've got a proper, clear strafing. Thanks everyone for listening my ted talk!

But it means you will not be able to lock on to a target. You okay with that? |

Well melee controller is basic locomotion with combat. if basic locomotion has something enabled, even though it doesn't show up in editor, it can still stay under the hood. Play around with the scripts a bit . I am sure you'll get to keep both.

I know this was marked as solved, but for me the answer was commenting out 2 lines in vLockOn.cs. Lines 105 and 106 are basically saying "not locked on, so don't strafe".
With those lines commented out, you can strafe or not, while you're locked on or not.
