UFPS - AC Player Switch

EPinteractive

Basically im trying to switch from the "Default" UFPS character to my AC character, and then back to my UFPS character, is this supported?

I tried to run this, but it doesn't work, it only activates the AC character, so i have 2 players in my scene and it keeps the UFPS one as the main one.

Heres my action and trigger:

Any help here?

If you change the movement method to First Person before the new player is in the scene (and it's during gameplay, as this is), then I can see there being problems.  Try changing the movement method to None, switching player, and then changing the movement method to "First Person".  What happens then?

The new player is created, but the issue is with UFPS not being turned off. So i have it set to replace the player, but when i walk into the trigger, it simply places the new player next to the UFPS player and i control both of them at the same time with UFPS being the main camera.

All right, I'll take a look at it - thanks for the breakdown.

OK.  Crack open KickStarter.cs and change the word "DestroyImmediate" to "Destroy" on line 631.

I would also advise you use a Player: Check Action at the front of these Actions so that they only run if the current Player is indeed the UFPS one.  Also bear in mind that the "Engine: Manage systems" Action will update the Settings Manager - so you'll have to reset the Movement method back to "Ultimate FPS" afterwards.  You could set this automatically by running an ActionList Asset when the game begins - defineable at the top of the Settings Manager.

Now that I've had some time to properly test this, I will not be making this change to AC officially - as it can cause some problems.  Instead, I would advise placing the Actions you've posted within a blocking Cutscene, and calling this Cutscene from the Trigger.
