Editor Camera Position for Unreal Engine

This is a simple plugin for Unreal Engine that displays the camera position in the editor's viewport. It can also set and copy-paste the camera position.

ECPVid.mp4

It works on UE4.27, UE5.2, UE5.3 and UE5.4 (or at least I tested it on these versions)

Why is it useful?

It is useful when a QA team reports you a bug in specific location. Finding this place in the editor on a huge map with only coordinates is tricky. With this tool you can simply copy-paste this location and go directly to a place where the problem occurs.

It is also useful if you want to share a specific world coordinates to a teammate without getting coordinates of a specific object.

Blueprint nodes

If you need a position of the editor viewport's camera in your Blueprint Utility Widget there are Blueprint nodes that can help you with it:

FAQ

But you can save your fav camera positions using Ctrl+Numer
This plugin is not for saving your favourite camera positions. It's for a situation when you have to quickly jump to a specific coordinates, given to you by someone else (usually the QA).

But you can just spawn cube, set it's location to the desired location, press F and delete that cube
Yeah... I know... but for me it was annoying to do it every time I needed that simple functionality. It saves you that few seconds every time :)

Does it work for camera position when piloting actors?
Yes it does!

Marketplace!

This plugin can be downloaded from the Unreal Engine Marketplace! Here's the link to it.
The version of this plugin on a marketplace is 1.0.6.
Unreal Marketplace doesn't support plugins for UE4. For UE4.27 you can download the prebuilt plugin from here.

Anything else?

Just hoping you can find it useful.
