Spectator camera view type

[Fenda]

In a multiplayer third-person game we are hoping to have the camera switch to other players perspectives when you are dead (i.e. spectator mode).

Is it possible to attach a third-person camera to other characters? We'd like to maintain camera rotation locally but obviously no character player input.

We're using UCC v3 + PUN2 addon. Any tips you can give us would be greatly appreciated!

For this I would create a new spectator camera controller and switch to that. The Deathmatch AI Kit does something similar with its free look mode.

Ah, great! I tried enabling the checkbox for Observer in the Deathmatch AI Kit demo but it doesn't seem to do anything. Was hoping to see how that works before purchasing.

The Observer checkbox didn't work for me either!

I will take a look at it for the next deathmatch update. With that said, the basic idea is to disable the character controller CameraController and enable your own camera controller.
