... Create Characters

To create a new Player, you need :

• To override the CharacterInMenu class. This class represents the Player inside the menu. It is a realy simplified version of the real player class, with only the components which are used to show Armor and Weapons on the Player (WeaponComponent and EquipedItems). Once you have overriden it, you can change the visual representation of the player.

• To override the TopDownRPGCharacter class. This class represents the player inside the game. Once you have override it, you can change the visual representation of the player, and it default stats.

• Then, you need to setup a Data Table which inherits from the NewPlayerData struct. You can find one table of this type inside the TopDownRPGTemplateFolder/PawnsAndControllers/Player/ folder, or use the one which is in the demo folder (TopDownRPGTemplate/Demo/DataTable). Make sure The CharacterClass and the CharacterClassInMenu variables points to the classes you've just create for your new Player.

For testing purpose, when you launch the game in PIE without having selected any character class, you will get a default character. This one is setup in the MetaGlobalData.

Note : When the game begins, the first Pawn to be spawned is the TransitionPawn. This one is used only as a temporary pawn. It will check what is the real Pawn to create, will create it and possess it.
