Hi, great tutorial. Can you please make a tutorial demonstrating how to add stat variation to different characters? Such as Manny has 100 health but Quinn has 150 health and rev has 200 health ect. Someone told me to look into creating different pawndata for each different "character" but how do you switch to a different pawndata asset? I am looking to use Lyra to make a game similar to Overwatch where characters have different special abilities, weapons, stats and such. With a character select screen. BTW I have watched your other video showing how to create the character select screen. Just need to be able to select a different pawndata asset by the Player's Character Selection Index. But cannot figure it out. Please help. Thanks.

Thanks for the video! Any chance you know how to fix the gun placement issue at 4:16?

How do you fix the pistol offset on the female character. Until that is solved I wouldn't quite say that we have added character variation successfully. I am really keen on seeing how you solve that! Thank you very much!

HI thank you on the video, really helps. How should i set it up that the teams have separate characters? For example i have a black uniform team with few characters and a white uniform team. Now i have all the same color characters and in combat it is quite hard to determine which is enemy and which is friend. When i add the different color uniform characters they load in random, so how to separate teams? Thanks in advance! Great job! cheers
