I have a question people. So what I want to do is selecting different character blueprints. I have created a couple of child blueprints of BP_PlayerCharacter. First, I made a very basic system about selecting it in the lobby by changing the default pawn of the game mode. Game mode supports level vise so that’s why I put it on the lobby. You have to re-select the character when the map changes.

Playing in single is ok but in multiplayer I realized that when the host selects the character, everyone on the server has the same character. So… I have to make it on the main menu to be a variable for all players right?

I inserted a new “default pawn” variable to SC_CharacterInfo but even I save it I can’t see it on the default values as well as in GameInstance.

So any help would be great. How can I select different blueprints to be applied to different online players on the main menu?

Edit: Changed it on SCharacterInfo. Used Pawn instead of DefaultPawn. However, it doesn’t change the player character blueprint.

You are going to need to tie your logic into BP_GameMode’s SpawnDefaultPawnFor. That lets you set the pawn class to spawn for a player.
