hello all
I would like to know if it is possible to have different player BP in the same level in a multiplayer game. for instance, having the server player spawn as first-person and the client to spawn as third person?
Yes, this would be possible.
You could technically have them start as the same character blueprint, but depending on the logic you set, one of them will start with a camera in third person, meanwhile another will start in first person.
You could implement this quite easily. Simply use the third person character and add a secondary camera to the head of the character. Add a button or a trigger volume to the level, and when the player triggers or presses the button change the character camera they are using.
Here is a snippet:
