Lets Make: Pawn from Blueprint in a Blank Project

[Rambo20]

Good idea about a tutorial that goes from blank to something useful. I'll see if I can put something like that together next week!

We actually have something just like that already for C++ on the wiki, and a some of it still relevant if you are using BPs:

That would be super useful and very much appreciated. Thanks

I followed what you have and it kind of works, it spawns me inside the ground though, whether I use spawn from Player Start or from camera view. Also, the camera is constantly spinning right. Any suggestions?

Well I made something and here it is. Hope it helps



Capsule
Physics
Simulate Physics true

Angular damping 50
Linear damping 5

Collision
Block All

Spring Arm
Camera
Target Arm Length 0
Camera Settings
Use Controller View Rotation true

Camera
Camera Settings
Use Controller View Rotation False

And here is the script

Awesome, that latest one works pretty well! it feels a little floaty, but it works!

Looking at the latest example I see a 'Get input axis move up' for the life of me I can't find out how to create this node. I'm able to create the move forward and the move right nodes though. What am I missing haha. Thanks

Rambo20 paste this and save it as thenamedoesnotmatter.ini ; Then Go To Edit>Project Settings>Engine>Input>import and then you should have it

That's a different ini than you have in the first post, just a heads up.

Hey there! I like the way this is going, but my problem right now is that if i have the Capsule as the camera's parent, when I move my mouse to the side, the camera just keeps moving. I know why that is, but don't you have the same problem too? Considering we kind of have the same blueprint?
The weird thing is if I have the camera as the Capsule's parent, that problem isnt there, but I don't think having the camera as the game character's parent isn't right. Or is it?
Cheers.

Wwell the .ini is very easy to make i think everyone can make it , the idea is to know what should be bound to axis and what to action .
+ someone might want to name the input "askjh" instead of MoveForward. :P

exodune my hierarchy is Is
Capsule[ROOT]
---Mesh
---Springarm
-----Camera( the camera is attached to the springarm)
also check the rotate with controller settings
