Hi!
I am looking forward to add a Rear-View Camera to the HUD of a 1st Person Shooter game.
I guess a cheap solution is by using a Scene Capture 2D component and then Render Target texture.
This will create a mirror object yet it is not what I try to achieve.
I mean a mirror would be perfect for the side mirrors of a car in a Racing game but in a FPShooter must be in the HUD.
For start I have just added a second camera at the viewport of my character.
If that’s ok, what should be the next step?
Thanks in advance!
I finaly managed to do it with a strange way.
I used this tutorial where it shows how to make a minimap.
In truth, I only change the last part –> Instead a static camera (for minimap usage) i actually attach the camera to the character!
In a nutshell the steps are like this:
- Create a new Texture (Render Target)
- Crate a HUD (if you don’t already have one)
- Open the HUD in Editor and Add Event Draw HUD
- (in the same editor) Draw Texture (don’t forget to set the Texture you create in Step #1)
- Create a Blueprint (Actor) for the Camera
- Open this Blueprint in Editor, add a Camera and a SceneCaptureComponent2D
- Add this actor to the level & attach it at your character.
Voila!
A small step for Game Developement, a big step against Βackshooters!
