Way to simply swap out the weapon mesh without starting over?

[evade123]

Hello,

Followed the tutorial to setup a weapon (the assault rifle). Want to use another model though.. so do I have to create the weapon all over again? I tried simply attaching the model to the assault rifle to test, but the first person weapon will still appear even if in third person (Video).

Also, is there an easy tutorial around for aiming in first and third person? My third person character wont aim when shooting. Tried to apply the "Main Camera", but no where to be found in the project unless I'm missing something. Thanks!

You'll need to add the visible object/s to the hierarchy as normal, but then you can use the Item Manager (Tools -> Opsive -> [Character Controller] -> Item Manager) to reassign the visual object/s by removing the existing ones and adding the new ones.

Have you imported UCC into an existing project? If so, you may need to check the steps in this importing guide: https://opsive.com/support/documentation/ultimate-character-controller/getting-started/importing/
