Character creator

So im making a simple character creator for dissertation and for some reason I cant swap between male and female meshes. How would I go about making it once the player clicks on the female button it removes the male character and replaces it with female?

Here is a video to demonstrate what I mean:

Your character references are empty.

You need to populate them with the characters that are in your scene.

Just because the variable is of type BP Third Person Character doesn’t mean there is a character the variable is pointing to (it starts of as a null so it’s basically empty)

You can either pass the reference in while creating the widget or try to get get the actor via a function from within the widget, like get actor from class and then filter it for instance with a tag and then set your reference from the gathered actor.

Thanks for the help, I went around it a different way, each body part has different meshes and I changed them all individually by grabbing the mesh asset and swapping it out with another
