Hi there. I’m attempting to make a simple sitting system in my first person game. I have a Sitting_BP that is just a box for collision and a camera above it. All that happens in the blueprint is it gets the interaction, stops input until the camera is fully blended and then re-enables the movement only for the Sitting_BP. I assumed this would allow me to only look around using the Sitting_BP camera and not move but I can’t seem to do anything. If I don’t disable the input on my FPC, I can control my character while in the other camera which I don’t want. The BP has a camera attached to a spring arm, and is using pawn control rotation. Any help would be extremely appreciated! Thank you!
Where are your inputs being called? and does the same player controller also control Sitting_BP?
Have you tried Depossessing your FPC and at the end of the animation possessing sitting_bp? instead of disabling input altogether.
Thank you for the feedback! All my inputs are handled in my First_Person_Character_BP. Should I move the handling to the controller? Also, how would I possess the Sitting_BP? I can unpossess in the sitting BP but I don’t understand how to possess it.
If you move your input functionality to the player controller, you can then possess any pawn (or child of the pawn class) and use the same inputs.
If you want completely separate inputs, you can keep them on the character/pawn blueprint.
If you want some common inputs and some specialized, you can the common on the controller and the special on each pawn.
Here’s how you can possess a pawn
You can get the pawn reference from the level blueprint, a line trace, whatever suits you.
Thank you for the help!!! I was able to get it working by adding some camera input code to the Sitting_BP pawn. The issue I’m facing now is unpossessing the Sitting pawn and re-possessing the First Person Character. I thought just adding a possess with the In Pawn being the FPC would work but I don’t have any inputs when I transition back to the FPC.
