This simple schematic is used to set a game object in the scene as Makinom’s player game object.

When not spawning the player through Makinom (using the Player Settings in Base/Control > Game Controls), you can set a game object in the scene to be the player using the Set Player node.

Setting a game object to be the player isn’t required, but can be useful for your game mechanics. This allows checking if a game object is the player or starting collider/trigger machines only by the player.

Now that you’ve got a schematic that sets a game object to be the player, you can use it whenever needed.
