Getting Started With Online Multiplayer

Hello all, this might be a silly question but I was wondering.
Say I got a 2player online multiplayer game, as I began creating two different characters, I’ve noticed if I choose Play and select #of Players=2, then Netmode = to Play As Listen Server or Play As Client, it creates a duplicate of my Player Start character complete with weapons and controls etc. However, I want the second player to be the other unique character with there own custom set of movements/abilities/weapons(As if they’re completely different species, eg, phylas vs felidaes).

Is that custom character able to be used afterwards or retargeted and replace player #2 or is it done some other way?! Maybe I haven’t researched hard enough but I just cannot find any info pertaining to this topic anywhere. If anyone knows please advise and thank you for your time.

Hi,
welcome to the community.
I saw this question on discord I am assuming from yourself (UE4 so not able to use Lyra)

Anyway. this site is for providing support to the course content and while we try to answer questions outside of that, we can’t always so sorry.

I don’t have an answer for this and this isn’t covered in our courses but do have a look at the code for Lyra, even though it is UE5.0 or later it may point you in the right direction.

Sorry I can’t be of more help.
