Hi again
So in my datatable I was trying to get the CameraActor variable in, so when i call the table it would be able to use the cameraactor id specify there, but it doesnt work. (i saw some tutorials that do indeed say it doesnt work with actors).

So my question is, i have a bunch of cameras placed in my level, and I would like to call a specific camera from the datatable during a dialogue to “set view target with blend” but i not exactly sure on how to achieve this since i cant select cameras from the level at all using this system.
I also looked into having the string or name of that field being able to become the “new view target” of the set view with target function, but to no success.

Looking forward to hear suggestions from your great minds :slight_smile:

thank you!

Would it work to set tags on the cameras you want to affect and put the tag names in your datatable?
Then you can use the GetAllActorsWith Tag node to find the actor in the world.

you mean “tag and value”? I also tried all tags match and gameplay tag, but doesnt look like those variables are availiable in datatables

Actor tags are strings, you can create a struct and hold in a DT. This should work just fine.
