Basically it's a custom feature that's not in the editor as far as I know, seeing as I get a missing file everything I load up [mAAp] Pipeline or Breakout. You'll have to wait for Spanky to reply, but you can look at how it's implemented in mAAp Pipeline or mAAp Breakout. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Here's the tutorial:

The problem for you is that it won't work online because you're using 2.8.5 which doesn't allow custom mods. I created a mod that forces cameras to work in multiplayer for Pipeline.

Im actually using 2.8 (although im sure its most likely the same way) so there's no way to make this happen then?

Same thing :) You CAN do it and it will work offline but it won't work in multiplayer (because the cameratextureclient actor doesn't replicate so you need a mod to force it).

Why not doing it for 2.5?

He has not graduated from being a padawan yet so he has not been blessed with the power of the 2.5 editor.
