Hey guys,
I’m currently using the FPP skeleton and mesh. At certain camera locations the shoulder is in front of the camera and blocking the view. Because I just need the forearm I thought I could just hide the upper part of the arm.
What I tried is hiding the shoulder bone (with “Hide Bone by Name”) and then unhide (“Unhide Bone by Name”) the lower part of the arm, which isn’t working. The whole arm stays hidden, because the forearm is a child component of the shoulder bone.
Is there an easy way to hide a parent bone without hiding its children?
My problem was stopping update of virtual bones based on head bone I tried to hide. So I was need hide head without children to resolve it. And I don’t know how to do it but I found alternative solution that works in my case.
Solution of my problem is use Transform Modify Bone in the character’s anim BP to set scale of head bone to very small value. Head is not “hidden” because In this case (I think) head and child bones will be fully rendered and updated
I also tried to extend HideBoneByName with c++ but my code has a strange effect so I stopped work with it. I will attach source files below. (This code doesn’t work! But maybe it will be helpful for somebody).
