How to use the FirstPersonCharacter BP as default player?

Hello,

I started a new project yesterday, so I created a map and worked a bit on it. When I opened UE4 this morning and went into my map, I clicked on PLAY, and the blueprint FirstPersonCharacter wasn’t used anymore: it was a weird flying character. I’ve tried to put the Blueprint on the map but it wasn’t using it either.

How can I change this default player?

Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:

Malo, if you don’t need to support player respawn or multi-player, then the quick and dirty approach will work…

Add your FirstPersonCharacter to your map and then set its “Pawn > Auto Possess Player” value to “Player 0”.

I actually just found out that in Project Settings > Maps & Modes it wasn’t set as FirstPersonGameMode.

But thank you!
