I make a First Person Shooter in UE4. Is there a way to change the mesh in the First Person Template from the hands to a normal character ? And how?
I can’t find any turotial for this.
hey mate, i guess u are using the first person ue Template right? then u have all those animations (weapon holding etc) for the skeleton of the template mesh (this robot guy thing)
it would not work if you just replace this mesh , because of its skeleton …
e.g: you want to fit the skeleton of a elefant into a fox’s body ^^
u can try “retargeting” ur mesh (`there are plenty of tuts out there) when it has the same bones, or use ur own animations … i guess there is no simple drag and drop solution for that ^^
Hi Netroxy, Welcome to the Unreal Engine 
I understand what it’s like to be new to the toolset, but the answerhub is supposed to be a place for people to find answers to questions when they can’t find the answer elsewhere. Your question is something that you can find an answer to with a simple google search or by looking up tutorials on youtube. For example: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=UE4+change+first+person+arms&page=&utm_source=opensearch
Do some searching on your own for the basics and post here when you need some more difficult questions answered. If you want some suggestions for places to learn the engine, I recommend:

Hi Erytriel, thank you so much for that. I will try it out now!
