Hey Guys,

Ok, My game is primarily “Third Person” and things are being developed around that view, however I ran into a situation where i want to the players to be able to “Toggle” between Third Person Camera View and First.

I know this is possible with Blueprints, can someone point me into the right direction with this?

Thanks,  
.

Hi Pilot 88,

Actually this does help. It’s not quite what I need, but it does give me something to go on.

Thanks,

, I got the camera switch to work, just not the blending of it.

Create a new camera parented to the mesh and attach it to the head bone. You might need to rotate it.
