So when i log in to my game, the character is not spawned until after the login. However, instead the spectator pawn is spawned, but the project mod settings do not offer the option to change the spectator pawn, or to disable it.
Is there a way to avoid having the player possess the spectator pawn?
The question doesn’t make sense, at least now it does not. If you have a game mode, you can toggle “start as spectator”. If you enable it, the engine will spawn whatever is set as Default Spectator Pawn class in the game mode. If disabled, it will spawn Default Pawn class.
