# Only Follow Camera

Using *SimpleFollow*'s *Axis Masks* property, you can easily create a 2D-like camera which tracks location only on specified axes. For example, if your character is jumping on platforms and you want to ignore x-axis movement, then you can set the first element of *Axis Masks* as zero. But it is noteworthy that *Axis Masks* is applied in world space.

1. Right click on Content Browser -> "Blueprint Class" -> create a "ECameraBase" class.
2. Open the class blueprint, select the "Camera Settings Component" and on the "Details" panel, expand the "ECamera" section.
3. Choose *SimpleFollow* for "Follow Component". You do not need to specify an aim component.
4. In *SimpleFollow*, set *Follow Type* to *World Space*, and set *Follow Offset* that you want to keep with the target actor. More importantly, set *Axis Masks*, masking out the axis that you would like the camera to ignore.
5. In the blueprint where you want to call this camera, invoke the "CallCamera" node and pass in the "Camera Class" and "Follow Target". It is mandatory to pass a location vector and a rotator to parameters *SpawnLocation* and *SpawnRotation*. The *SpawnLocation* should be the sum of target's location and the follow offset specified at *Follow Offset*. The *SpawnRotation* should be the direction you want the camera to look at. You can also specify "Blend Time", "Blend Func" and "Blend Exp" if you want smooth blending in. Ensure to disable *Preserve State*.
