They can be created and assigned to a player when a player joins a world. PlayerEntity automatically handles mapping player inputs to the associated entity controller of the entity, calling the entity controller's onTickPlayerMovement method when player input has changed. ## Example ```typescript world.onPlayerJoin = player => { const playerEntity = new PlayerEntity({ player, name: 'Player', modelUri: 'models/player-with-gun.gltf', modelLoopedAnimations: [ 'idle' ], modelScale: 0.5, }); playerEntity.spawn(world, { x: 10, y: 20, z: 15 }); }; ``` ## Constructors
