{% hint style="info" %}
**Looking for the Player (AC v1.5.3):** the `Main Animal Player` option is **obsolete** and no longer finds anything, because the `MAnimal.MainAnimal` singleton was removed (it could only track one player). Use **Malbers Tag** with the **Player** Tag instead, or **Transform Var** when you already have a reference to the character.

Assets still set to `Main Animal Player` show a warning in the inspector with two buttons: **Use Malbers Tag \[Player]** and **Use Transform Var**. To convert every Look Decision in the project at once use `Tools/Malbers Animations/Tools/Convert Obsolete Look Decisions to Malbers Tag [Player]`. Your player characters need a [**Tags**](/animal-controller/scriptable-architecture/scriptables/tags.md) component with the `Player` Tag.
{% endhint %}
