I have 2 characters that I have placed in my world, they need to be placed before i click play because of a certain blueprint i have made. But when i click play another character spawns aswel as the 2 i placed in the world. Is there a way to get the 3rd character from spawning and only have have the 2 characters that i placed in the world be…in the world.

I found that changing the default spawn class to none in the game mode blueprint worked for me. This was because it was spawning a new character blueprint where the camera was in the editor.
