Switching between RTS Camera and Third-Person Camera

[Mamouf]

Hi everyone,

In my Project i can switch from a Real-Time Strategy Camera to a Third-Person Camera.
And my Problem is that when i switch from my third Person to the RTS that i can´t move the Camera itself , the character is still moving.alt text

Here are my Event Graphs of my Character-,RtS Cam- and LVL- Blueprints.

Necro bump for interest did you get this figured out? I’m interested in third-person to an xcom style over head camera.

[Mamouf]

Yes i did.
I´ve done it in the level Blueprint. You need to get the reference of the actor and the camera, by selecting it seperately in the level. If nothing is selected in the level you can´t get a reference in the blueprint.
So it look´s like this now.

Now can you guide me how to make camera move able( i-e set controlls for camera ) and how to switch back to third person view

[Mamouf]

You need to “possess” to the pawn you want to control, like i did in the screenshot above.

Hi i have emailed it to you

there is a folder named RTS in Games folder

thirdpersonCharacter is my default pawn
dont forget to open Level Blue print

looking forward to hear from you before Saturday please

thankyou in Advance

[Mamouf]

Well i think i fixed it.

In the third person character i just added a “Spawn default Controller” and it works.

There were two other things i´ve noticed.

1. In Project Settings your default Gamemode wasn´t set to your thirdpersonGamemode
2. In the RTSCamera the Interface wasn´t selected

Hope that works for you too
