Hey, how do i set a characters camera to see gradually less and less until it shows nothing but a black screen?

ā†’ Already have it done simply by switching camera to a camera that is very close to a black object, but there has to be a better way, and doing it this way also makes it instant black screen, which doesnt really look good.

I think you are wanting to fade to black. If so, check out this video tutorial:


In the video he is fading in from black, so for you to fade to black you need to start with value of 0 and end with value of 1 on the matinee.

You need to create a UMG widget called Fade.

Make it look exactly like this:

Make the graph look like this:

Then in your character blueprint have this:

Then you have a fade to black screen.
