First Person only?

[Wyldhunt]

Here's an odd issue that I've never had before...
So, I need to make a new character using the Character Manager.
I drag my character from the scene to the "Character" slot.
The next line is the "Perspective" option. By default, it is set to First Person. I need Third Person, so I open the drop-down menu and select "Third Person"...
It immediately reverts to First Person.
So, no matter what I choose in that drop-down menu, it selects First Person.
That is the only drop-down menu that doesn't work. Every other drop-down selector appears to work fine.

Is this a bug for everyone, or just me?

... If it is just me, what do I need to change on the character to manually convert it from first person to third person?

I haven't seen this occur before and just tried it in 2023.2. To debug I have a few questions:

- Do you have UCC or UFPS + TPC?
- If you create a fresh project does it work?
- Are both FIRST_PERSON_CONTROLLER and THIRD_PERSON_CONTROLLER compiler symbols defined?

I am experiencing the same problem.
I created a new project and installed a new UCC.
UCC3.0.18
Unity 2023.2.5f1

I just tried this on the latest hotfix of Unity and was able to reproduce it. It looks like the event callback has changed. You can fix this by changing line 168 within CharacterManager from:

            if (m_CharacterContainer != null) {

to:

            if (m_CharacterContainer != null && Event.current == null || Event.current.type != EventType.MouseUp) {

I fixed it and it works fine. Thanks.
