Is it possible to do side scroller/top down games in this?

I havent been able to find any documentation on player cameras.

i really curios about this too

The camera angle is set at this time, I havenā€™t seen anything in the roadmap to make it possible to change that either. Itā€™s a fortnite thing.

Hi all,

I think what youā€™re asking will be possible once ā€˜Alternate Camera Gamesā€™ are implemented later this year.

However: Iā€™ve played a few First-person games in FN Creative recently and am VERY curious as to how thatā€™s possible.

You CAN NOT change the player camera, as of writing this. You CAN use the sequencer to change where a camera is viewing the player from.

See this link:

I will warn, that you will not get a full FPS experience. Hands/Weapons/Etc are not visible through the camera with the exception of weapons with scopes when you scope/ADS.

Additionally you get some visual glitches at various times like gliding.

Thereā€™s a ā€œhackā€ or workaround for first person using the prop manager and the helipad. There are a few tutorials on YouTube
