Is it possible to place character so that only half of it visible? Like on this screenshot for example?

It's a matter of setting up the camera, isn't it?

You can use any coordinates you want, you're not limited to the visible viewport. If you need to query the coordinates interactively, notice that SceneEdit allows you to leave the viewport with your mouse pointer, and also move actors outside of it.

I use a simple trick for that. Have 2 cameras in your scene one with the off-screen view and the other for the normal view. Then position the character to the right spot in the lesser view. Use ctrl+c to copy actor placement. Switch to the other camera, save the scene and use the propper coordinates from clipboard.
