Having trouble with third person character

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint
1

Hi, so I’m relatively new to Unreal Engine 4. I’ve dabbled for the past year and have just started seriously designing and practicing creating maps and landscapes/levels. I dragged a third person character into my level just now, but when I press play it defaults to the free-fly camera that allows you to “fly” around in your digital world, but it doesn’t let me control the third person character? What do I need to change in order to take control of the third person character after pressing “Play”?

Thanks!

Select the character and on the details panel, choose to auto-possess the character. Pick Player 0 (don’t think really needed, but may come in handy later).
