I was following a tutorial for making a peephole for a door I managed to get almost all of it working. The idea should be that when you interact with the peephole actor, the player view changes from the First Person Camera to the camera attached to the peephole in the door; you’ll be able to control this camera to a limited amount and look around a little bit. Because the interaction is a line trace, if the old First Person Camera doesn’t move, when you hit the interact button the line trace will hit the peephole actor again, and you’ll go back to controlling the First Person Camera again.
The problem is I can’t stop camera movement for the old first person camera, and I also can’t enable movement for the new door camera. The camera views do change properly, and I can move back and forth between the two cameras, I just can’t change the controls. I’ve managed to stop the player character movement, but the mouse keeps moving. If I completely disable input the character can’t use the interact button to exit the view.
Here’s what was left of the blueprint after I gave up trying to make it work; it’s an absolute mess, I can’t even remember what I was trying to accomplish here. I don’t understand control inputs. The tutorial needed Mouse X and Mouse Y nodes, but the BP_FirstPersonCharacter was using this Enhanced Input
