That's correct. The Aim Assist component requires a crosshairs, which doesn't work for top down. I have it on my list to be able to support top down/2.5D as well.

As this thread https://opsive.com/forum/index.php?...ing-in-third-person-top-down.3471/#post-17115 mentions, the Aim Assist is not support for Top down. But I really need the Aim Assist ability for my top down mobile game, it is difficult to attack the enemies without auto aim in mobile game.
Any suggestions how to do auto aim in top down?
Thanks.

I am merging that thread with this to make searching easier.

The crosshairs sets the AimAssist target with AimAssist.SetTarget. Without a crosshairs the target can't be set so that's why it doesn't work. In theory you should only need to set the target, but I haven't tried that with the AimAssist ability so there may need to be some changes to get it to rotate correctly in a top down view.

I realize this is an old thread but was wondering if you were you able to get Aim Assist to work with the top down movement type? I'm trying to aim at enemies in top down view using a mobile joystick. Some type of targeting would be very helpful. Did you ever get to this on your list?

Aim Assist has been improved but it doesn't support the top down movement type yet.

I see you have it on your list. Do you have any idea when it will be supported?
