Alternative FOV setting for DPG_Foreground rendered actors

[balibalo]

Hi there,

I'm currently working on a Hud displayed with meshes in DPG_Foreground, like this:



During some gameplay sequences the FOV value is set to rather extreme values. At some time, this may cause harsh distorsions on the Hud's display.
I know that the old Canvas.DrawActor function had a Fov parameter :

DrawActor( Actor A, bool WireFrame, optional bool ClearZ, optional float DisplayFOV )

Does anybody know a way to set specific camera settings (especially FOV) for the Foreground priority group ?

Thanks

I believe meshes rendered in the foreground can have custom fields of view. I believe the weapons held by the player in the UDK demo do this (they certainly did in Unreal Tournament 3). It may be a property of the skeletal mesh component that you can set in default properties.

You're right, the UDKSkeletalMeshComponent and UDKParticleSystemComponent classes feature the following var & member function:

/** This changes the FOV used for rendering the skeletal mesh component. A value of 0 means to use the default. */
var() const float FOV;

/** changes the value of FOV */
native final function SetFOV(float NewFOV);

This allows per-Mesh fov setting... and saves me.
Thanks a lot for pointing it out.
Cheers
