Select Different Character HELP

I messed a bit with this for my project, it can be tricky. And you’ll have to check your solution in a baked build to be sure it works.

Here is what I did, but there is plenty of ways to achieve things, remember :

• In the select menu (when choosing character) I set the DefaultPawn in GameMode. Ie: When user click on character.
  -I send a variable of type PawnClass in GameInstance (for persistence) which is the character choosen.
  -On level load, I SpawnActorOfClass (PawnClass). I grab PawnClass from the variable I created in GameInstance.

It works for me.

Silik1 is right. You need to use a GameInstance for this to work. GameModes, Controllers, Characters, and everything else is basically destroyed when you switch between your levels. So any variables set outside the GameInstance will be destroyed. The only other good option, but unnecessary, would be to use a game save.
