1. Introduction

DGOneCameraShake is a lightweight UE5 plugin with one-shot Animation Notify and sustained Animation Notify State nodes.

What problem does it solve?

In UE5, triggering a camera shake in sync with an animation — a heavy landing, a melee hit, an explosion — traditionally requires wiring up Blueprint or C++ logic to listen for animation events and then manually call the camera shake API. That’s extra work, extra nodes, and extra places for things to break.

DGOneCameraShake wraps all of that into a notify you can drag directly onto an animation track. Configure it in the Animation editor in a few clicks — no code required.

Example use cases:

• Ground impact shake when a character lands from a jump
• Hit-feel feedback on melee attack contact frames
• Screen impact on ability casts or explosions
• Sustained vibration for sprinting, low-frequency machinery, or continuous damage feedback
• Any camera shake that needs to be frame-accurate with an animation
