How to display character in the right side of screen?

Hello. I want to show my character in the right side of display. I think, I can do this with widget, connected to camera, but I don’t know how to make character be only visible for camera, i mean without background. And I know additional camera is very bad for performance, so, maybe there is a better way to achive that?

Hey @Texn0krat

do you want to display your character when you are in the menu of your game?

Hi. No, I want to see it in realtime. I’ve seen that in rpgmaker games, and I want to achive that in unreal.

Pressing E will show the HUD and your character.

Thank you! I’ll write solution for people who don’t want to download files: you need to create SceneCaptureComponent in your character BP and create widget with image. You will render images to your widget with capture scene function (in my case - in real time). Don’t forget to create texture and set it as texture target for SceneCaptureComponent.

Sorry, but I have additional question: you’re using “Use ShowOnly List” in primitive render mode, but my material is empty when I use that too. Where I can find that “ShowOnly List”?

Hey,

I added this inside the ConstructionScript:
