Hey Nash32,

First:

Make sure your game mode has your Pawn class set as the DefaultPawnClass.

Second:

Make sure that in your World Settings, which you can open by selecting the “Settings” button at the top center of the editor window and select, “World Settings” - This will open another tab in next to the “Details” Tab - that “GameMode Override” is set to your game mode class.

I did exaclty what you said but it didnt make a difference, any other way?

Can you open the map you want to play and then make sure the “World Settings” tab is showing and then take a screenshot of the entire screen and send that to me?

Make sure the drop down for “Selected GameMode” is open - so it shows DefaultPawnClass, HUD Class, Player Controller class, etc…

Thanks.

You need to set your Default Pawn Class to your Pawn class:

In your gamemode, the pawn isn’t your pawn but the default pawn …
