You simply make PlayerController possess new pawn on click

Hey Ivanov,
As Shadowriver mentioned, the easiest way to handle this is to make your Player Controller possess whichever pawn you click on. In your Character (or Pawn) Blueprint, you can do something like this:
Then, whenever you click on any instance of this pawn, the Player Controller will switch to that pawn.
Hope that helps!

Hey. Thank you for your help. I really helped. But then when I click mouse again to return to the pawn observer. Please tell me if not difficult!

You can do the same sort of thing but using Un Possess instead. The easiest place to do this would be the Level Blueprint, though there are probably more efficient ways to handle it once you get into more complex controls. Place an instance of your Observer Character in the level, and reference it like this:
There are many ways you can do this, but this should help you get started.
You mean if you click the Actor while it is already possessed, you want it to return to the Observer? Sure, just set a Boolean variable to true when you possess the pawn. Then use a Branch node off of the On Clicked event to see whether the pawn is currently possessed, and if so, to possess the Observer pawn instead.
Hello Please tell me what I’m doing wrong does not go back to using a pawn of the observer? Thanks for the help!
I think part of the problem you are having is that Event Actor on Released doesn’t do what you want it to. The big problem though is that your MySpectator variable is only pulling the MySpectator Class, and not the instance of it in the level. To solve this, you can use Get Player Pawn on Begin Play, and save it as a Pawn variable.
Hope that clears it up a bit.

Thank you very much! Everything works. I’m really grateful to you.
The problem I have with all of this is, what if you have a C++ pawn?
That’s a question better asked in the C++ section:
