Hi guys, I’m trying to figure out how to enable detail lightning view when I press “play”. I want to use the first person blueprint with this view mode. I was wondering if this is possible. Thank you!

I’ve found a solution for this. If someone wants to know, you can see the answer here: [Viewport Modes in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.2 Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/UI/LevelEditor/Viewports/ViewModes/index.html)

You need to use a command in console, in this case it is: ‘viewmode lit\_detaillighting’

If you want to use this as a default, you need to add an “event begin play” in your level blueprint with the node “Execute Console Command”. Have a nice day!
