Please help. sorry to type so much.
Buttons (on tv(in-game)) and remote (held by player in game)
Feels like you’d want it in the tv or remote blueprint. or character blueprint. Im not a pro so looking for a WHY? in combination with a HOW?.
Im making A variety of TVs and screens, with movies and controls. Im kind of new. Ive got It working good. I just want to add buttons in the map/remote that trigger the same things. If i knew what documentation is on this i could prob figure it out.
In order to get a pressed key to interact with the media player it seems I have to have it in the level blueprint.
Ive created an IA_interact and have an alternate method using on box Collision overlap but this still isnt exactly what i want, maybe in combination??
Why certain things only go certain places would be helpful. media player documentation says use level blueprint, but im seeing things about problems arising later from doing many things in level blueprint just because you can. Example my TVS being drag and drop on another level, given it has access to a movie folder and playlist.
Ideally i would like 2 things, 3rd bonus.
- Handful of buttons (on the tv) that control the media player being used in that instance (might be wrong term) of the blueprint interface. based on distance and/or a path trace from camera to the button.
- Now this is the big one for me today. Remotes. Do i put the functionality of the buttons in the remote itself (as stated before i cant seem to get them to work anywhere other than the level blueprint)
- Syncing a player held remote to a tv (media player used in the closest tv(mediaplayer)) (Im imagining a long logic chain that might be unnecessary)
How would a pro structure this. Doesn’t have to be specific, just what goes where would be super helpful.
I Have full functionality (found the documentation, would recommend) but its for all the tvs (or one) (another media player would change this), and its at any range.
Ive followed button tutorials, but with the media player only working from level blueprint Im just kind of intimidated about how to go about doing this.
If i get it all done, i might make a video as theres not alot available on getting the most out of these media players
Thanks!
