:warning: Due to Godot Engine specifications, the keyboard and the first controller are forcibly assigned to Player1. This means you cannot assign the keyboard to Player1 and the first controller to Player2; at least two controllers are required.

About the StartPoint Group ID
This is a feature used in combination with the scene transition functionality.
For example, in cases with multiple accessible maps, you can set it so that if coming from Map 1, the game starts at StartPoint A, and if coming from Map B, it starts at StartPoint B.
