how do i refrence the two cameras between blueprints?

Create an Instance Editable actor ref variable in the classic 3rd person blueprint and pick the other camera from the level.


i want to switch

The questions is a bit vague. I assumed you need the 3rd person BP know about the other camera’s existence. Things can be done differently if, let’s say:

  • we enter the room → switch to the other cam
  • we leave, we switch back to player

How to set it up depends on the scenario, and on who does the switching. Perhaps we’re clicking a UI button to flip cameras => again, a different setup would be needed. Is there only one static camera ever? Or there’s a dozen…
