Can anyone tell me the proper way to do this (purely in c++)?
Currently, I spawn a camera actor during my game modes begin play and set the player controller class’ target view to the actor camera. I’m not having any luck…
Hi,
Try that
void MyPlayerController::TestCamera()
{
// Fast storage for camera (for example only)
static ACameraActor* pCamera = NULL;
if (!pCamera)
{
// Get current pawn camera
FMinimalViewInfo info;
GetPawn()->CalcCamera(0, info);
// Spawn camera
FTransform spawnTM(info.Rotation, info.Location);
pCamera = Cast<ACameraActor>(UGameplayStatics::BeginSpawningActorFromClass(this, ACameraActor::StaticClass(), spawnTM));
if (pCamera)
{
UGameplayStatics::FinishSpawningActor(pCamera, spawnTM);
}
}
else
{
// Teleport camera
FViewTargetTransitionParams params;
params.BlendTime = 1; // I want not make smooth camera changing (interpolation)
PlayerCameraManager->SetViewTarget(pCamera, params);
}
}
In addition, if you set up camera during game mode begin play, Player Controller may take possession over Camera after that. To avoid this – set up this variable to Player Controller: bAutoManageActiveCameraTarget = false;
Hope it helps!
