Multiple active cameras for 1 player

OMG, I’ve been searching for something like that for ages! Do you know if it can be used as part of a VR game? Will the “hack” still work in that case?

This could allow us to make VR games like what you see on PlaystationVR, multiplayer asymmetrical mixed VR games. Games where 1 player is playing from inside VR, with the VR HMD on and controllers, while another player is playing near them on the same computer, but using the keyboard and PC monitor to interact, possibly using this ExtraCamWindow plugin!
Or you could have 1 person in VR, while other players outside make choices or have control over the experience, from options/control on the monitor view. Like a scary party game where your friends have control over the haunted house while ur playing. heh

I’ve been asking the UE4 devs for some features to allow us to customize the default HMD Mirror Window, or display other cameras on it, but this might work fine too! Thanks for making it either way.

EDIT: I probably did something wrong… When I try to drop this plugin into a project, I get this error:
Missing or incompatible modules in ExtraCamWindow plugin - would you like to disable it? You will no longer be able to open any assets created using it.

And then this error:
Plugin ‘ExampleDeviceProfileSelector’ failed to load because module ‘ExampleDeviceProfileSelector’ could not be found. Please ensure the plugin is properly installed, otherwise consider disabling the plugin for this project.

I wonder if maybe it’s a conflict with certain VR rendering features… hmm

Hi @NikoKun,

I’m working on a game very similar to what you described. Asymmetrical, two players, one PC, one player on VR and the other using PC and monitor. I also getting the same error when trying to use this plugin. Have you ever managed to get yours working or come up with any other solutions?

Greatly appreciate any help.

Thank you
