I am trying to follow a UE5 YT tutorial using the 3RD person template, the trouble is the new version of the template doesn’t have the player/arrow/cam etc in the scene (It used to) so when the tutorial starts modifying the character, I have nothing to select.
If I add the player BP I get the character/collison/arrow etc but when I hit play it drops me in as the original player.
How do I tell UE to use the new player BP? (I looked in game settings BP and project settings)
Type CTRL-P and search for third person character.
You can edit it from there by double clicking.
If you want to drop a player in the level, you need to set it to ‘possess’ in the details. Otherwise, you need to set the player type correctly in the game mode override, which is in the world settings ( window → world settings ).
