Hi There.
As the title suggests I’m wanting to change default pawn and possess it at run time.
I am trying to create a character selection screen. and then making the current selected character the default pawn to play with. (the current being just a Camera).
I’ve managed to spawn in the characters on selection (destroying them when spawning another) but I don’t know how to possess said character and destroy Camera pawn.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Rossage.
Id think you’d want to get the player controller, call detatch, and input the camera actor object for detachment. Then call destroy on the camera pawn, and then call possess from the controller and get the selected character object and input it
Thank you. I’m now able to select the character I want but can’t move.
I have done this through the widget BP. On BP_Gamemode, I’m able to hide the curser but I’m unsure how to control the character.
Thank you
Rossage.
Unposses camera pawn, destroy it.
Then spawn character and posses it.
You can have same player controller for both, just check pawn class, or when new pawn is possesed change some variable in player controller.
Unless its multiplayer you do not need default pawn class, just spawn it like its actor. If you set player controller in pawn and character pawn you can have both controller spawn and be different classes for each pawn.
Thank you.
I have done that but I am unable to move. The character is possessed and I can perform some input actions but can not move.
Kind regards

You may need to call “set input mode game and UI” or game only from the controller after possessing the character
Make sure to assign the input mapping context after Event Possessed in your all character blueprints like this:
Could you expand on that? For example are you able to print out the action value from the movement input action but the Add Movement Input node connected to it’s Triggered pin don’t move the character even though it gets executed?
Thank you so much you fixed it.
Kind regards
Rossage.
