Got a very simple character selection which consists of two blueprints. One that handles asynchronously loading skeletal meshes and idle animation to preview characters, and another one that handles player input, loading the character blueprint with the full character suite of animations, and possessing the newly spawned pawn. I hope to expand the character selection blueprint to handle touch and drag slide input from the player in order to have more characters to select from.
A caveat from asynchronously loading objects is that blueprint "for loops" do not wait for the load to finish before moving on to the next iteration of the loop. In order to async load inside a loop, you have to make the loop yourself through a literal execution pin loop as seen below.
