Best way to make a Local Coop split screen game with MetaHumans (A Way Out style)

Hi all!

I’m in version 5.0.3 because local coop was broken in newer versions.

Currently looking for the most effective way of making a local coop split screen game with MetaHumans. I followed a local coop YouTube tutorial, but it lead to many issues with the meta human hair groom on player 2, that I have not been able to solve.

Full thread to explain issues.

I’m just wondering, does anyone have any recommendations of the best way to go about this? I’m very new to Unreal Engine, so it’s possible that there are smarter ways that I am not yet aware of.

Main needed components:

  • Two local split screen player characters.
  • Both MetaHumans, different meshes.

I have both characters able to be played in-engine, however, I am wondering if there is a better way to do it, without leading to the following issue:

Thanks for reading! I’m a still a little unfamiliar with the engine, so simple explainations are appreciated!
