Is there a way for objects to only viewable by one player? Want a UI but i dont want each players to clutter up the screen. May just have to go with dead space UI. Is there any thing i need to do to have each player have their own view? If i use a movie cam will all players be forced to watch the same thing?

1. Not really. There are two ways to make a UI only visible to a single player and neither is an option I would want to use. The first is to use sackbots for everything and to replicate the entire playable level for each player. Basically each player is driving four identical bots through four identical rooms at any given time but they only see their own room which has their UI in it. While this ought to work because all the bots are starting in the same positions and receiving the same controllinator signals, in practice it doesn't actually work: the bots tend to drift apart from their identical positions so that your bot in one room will be in a different position than the bots in the other rooms. The other way is to use hologram stickered black with the UI elements stickered onto the side of the holo. When you look at any of the other sides of the holo, it will be completely invisible, but when you tilt the camera so that the side with the non-black stickers is facing the camera, it will be visible. You could make four separate UI's, each facing a different one of the cardinal directions and have each player's camera angled differently... but the camera angles will obviously affect how the level plays for each of them, so it's not a good solution. 2. Set the game mode to versus. That's the only way to give each player their own camera. 3. Yup, movie cams apply to everybody even in versus mode.
