Remote Viewing Camera

Archive: 2 posts


I want player cameras to be able to view objects remotely. That way I can have multiple people controlling their own vehicles remotely, with their own view of the race track.

It's extremely frustrating. It's one of the things I just assumed you'd be able to do and now all of my best ideas are worthless.

You can kinda do this already, but only in a level set to "versus" mode. From an old post...


Movie Cameras definately affect all players, but I'm not sure about Game Cameras - it's seems reasonable they'd allow you to have an independent view per player, but even with Player Tracking at zero, a Game Camera always tries to keep your sackperson on-screen, so you can't really use them to show areas beyond your location.

The typical workaround is to have no cameras, but just have each player in an invisible controlinator attached to an invisible piece of hologram, and just move that piece of hologram around with a mover.

It's possible you could combine this with activating one or more Game Cameras with a different view settings to default, Player Tracking at 100%, Input Action set to "Activation Scale" and be able to pan, tilt, dolly and zoom by arbitrary amounts at runtime.

...since then, I tested out attaching a Game Camera to the Controlinator, and it does work, although there is a problem with the "Activation Scale" mode, in that it seems to affect all players, but if you don't use that mode, it works fine.

It's not ideal, of course, but it's the best you can do with the current tools.
