# NFPUnrealThirdPersonTemplate
This provides an Unreal Engine template that can get you started using your NFP in a 3rd Person style game quickly.
This provides an Unreal Engine template that can get you started using your NFP in a 3rd Person style game quickly. Not only does this template mimic the existing 3rd Person template, but it also retargets your NFP behind the scenes so that the 3rd person animations work without additional input needed.
