Is there any way to hide virtual joysticks during game play while a matinee is playing?

Is there any way to hide virtual joysticks during game play while a matinee is playing?

Hi, hope I’m not too late. Maybe this could help someone in the future. It may NOT be the answer you’re looking for but it did the job for me. I have Matinee playing only at the beginning of my level, not midway thru the game so this may not help if your Matinee is not at the beginning.

  1. Open your virtual joystick asset (you should duplicate the default one just in case you need to go back)
  2. Adjust the ‘Startup Delay’ to however long your intro matinee is.

This is obviously only for matinee that starts at the beginning.

You open up blueprints > get the player controller, drag the out value and type in “set virtual joystick visibility” and set it to false, then You can set it to true and turn it back visible.

You have already probably solved it, but maybe it helps someone else in the future :slight_smile:

It just saved me actually. I have a loading screen and it kept putting it on top of it and didn’t look good. Thank you
