Start Mannequin?

Development Getting Started & Setup

Hi Guys.

I’m just curious as to why i can no longer see the start mannequin, when you launch the third person template.

How do you have a visible character in the world ? from the start

Hi, You have a Start actor, that will be the start of the default character player and so the mannequin. If you want to add another manequin, you can drag and drop the mannequin Blueprint in your scene

Hi Muscat,

Not sure what happened, but try this:

In your Content/ThirdPerson/Blueprints/ folder drag “BP_ThirdPersonCharacter” into the level.

Then select it and set “Auto Possess Player” to ‘Player 0’

Alternatively with the game-mode + player start configuration that One4All mentioned, if your game mode is set in Project Settings → Maps and Modes and there is a ‘Player Start’ the Pawn/Character set in the game mode will spawn.

Thanks for the reply.

I did this and it didn’t work.
I just tried again and it worked totally fine…

Thanks again
