Hello,
I'm trying to have a simple "camera effect" when the player die.
Something very simple like in HL: the camera just fall down on the ground.
I'm not very experienced with uScript so I get stuck...
Here what I did:
-My Pawn is based on UTPawn, so I removed the mesh (as I don't need it and as it's not allowed for commercial game to use SkeletalMesh and will be a waste of time to make my own one) by "blank" overwriting "SetCharacterMeshInfo" function and setting "Components.Remove(WPawnSkeletalMeshComponent)" in default properties.
I don't know if it's the proper way, certainly not...
-Blank Overwritten "simulated function bool CalcThirdPersonCam". Seems useless, I guess it's not used for dying view.
-Overwritten "simulated function PlayDying": I just changed "PlayersRagdoll = true;" to false and "CollisionComponent = Mesh;" to "CollisionComponent = CollisionComponent;"
So the result seems almost good, except I have a weird rotating camera some seconds before going back to the first person view,when waiting for respawn.
The camera is also a bit far from the ground and don't slide when player die on a slope.
Is there someone who know how to always stay in first person view when die and have the camera reacting like a rigidbody, falling on the ground and slide on slope (this last point is not a priority just will be nicer...) ?
Here the Pawn code:
