Hello everyone! I’m new to Unreal Engine and I probably have a really stupid question (I couldn’t find the answer online, maybe I phrased it wrong), but I really want to understand why it’s better to use Player Start instead of dragging a character’s Blueprint into the scene. Yes, when you start the game, your Blueprint remains in the scene, but this is solved by ‘Auto Possess Player’ player 0. Yes, using Player Start allows you to spawn a pawn in different places, but what if you don’t need that? I just see that Epic Games spawns characters via Player Start in their templates, and YouTube guides also use Player Start. Why is that?
P.S. Sorry for any inconvenience, I used Google Translate.
On begin play, the engine will spawn whatever is in the game mode, at the player start.
You might have found that if you just place the player, and use the player start ( with a player type in the game mode ), you end up with two players. Not so noticeable with first person.
So no, it doesn’t really matter for you at the moment
