I am brand new to unreal engine and following along my first tutorial of building a level, when I add a player start position and press play nothing happens. No mannequin loads in or anything. My player start is positioned over my floor and I don’t even get the animation of the mannequin dropping in so I know it’s not just falling off of the map.
