OnPostLogin spawn issue

[Uno1982]

I found an easy solution to this problem!

My game is not an online game, but still, I was having the same issue because my character only spawns AFTER the dungeon is generated (procedural game).

The thing is that, during a small time windows, we are having a SpectatorPawn spawned.

So I created a BP_SpectatorPawn, I added a CameraComponent to it, and inside the camera, I changed: PostProcess → Color Gradient → Gain → Set to 0

Then, set in your GameMode, that spectator as your SpectatorPawn

This way, during that small frame, our camera will be fully black, until the real character spawns, with it’s own camera, that won’t have this BLACK postprocess setting on it.

I hope this helps someone!

This won’t work during replication
however I’ve posted a fix that will in a few repos already. You need to go to your project settings and create your own “localPlayer” class that derives from the base class and set the camera manager and set fade amount to black then after handle starting new player call a set fade on the camera manager to fade you back in from black. During replication the “localPlayer” class is the proxy used for the camera manager so any calls on your playercontroller won’t be respected for this single frame “which is why you get the quick 0,0,0 flash”

here is a PR I opened for VRE to handle a while back that should give you context to understand how to impliment
