UGameplayStatics::GetPlayerCameraManager
#include "Kismet/GameplayStatics.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Returns the APlayerCameraManager for the player controller at the given index. The camera manager controls view targets, camera shakes, and post-process effects applied per-player.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns null for remote players on a client — only local player controllers have accessible camera managers on a given machine.
- • The camera manager is owned by the player controller and is only valid after the controller is fully spawned; calling this too early during level load may return null even for player index 0.
- • Modifying camera properties through the manager (e.g. AddNewCameraModifier) only affects the local view; it has no network replication.
