The Look At Skeletal Control Node can be used to specify a Bone to trace or follow another Bone in the Skeleton.
Below, we set our character's Head bone to follow the location of their Hand bone.
This node enables you to also set whether or not to use a Look at Location offset relative to the specified Look at Bone as well as set Look at Clamp values, Interpolation Type and Interpolation Time values. The visualization tools enable you to see the Bone to Modify , the Look at Bone , clamp angles, target location and interpolation values inside the viewport.
