Adding a vehicle to third person project does not work

Development Getting Started & Setup
1

Hello. I need help with something…

I tried adding a vehicle from “Add feature or content pack” to my 3rd person project.
However whenever I posses the pawn or autoposses the player from the content browser options I cannot seem to move the vehicle.
It doesn’t give me an option to rotate the camera and the vehicle is stuck in one place no matter what I’m pressing.
I tried this both in 5.1 and 5.2 however no luck

Would really appreciate your help!

P.s. I’m new to Unreal…

Hi Ellix, Welcome to the Forums,

You might need to enable the ‘Chaos Vehicles’ plugin in your 3rd person project.

There’s a new input mapping system in UE5 called ‘Enhanced Input’. Here’s a basic way to switch input contexts.

Lyra is a completely different beast than the 3rd person template, but reading this tutorial might give you some more ideas.

Let me know if you are still having trouble with this!

Thanks I will try it.
Actually U had Chaos Vehicle Pluging enabled.

Update:
Downgrading to 5.0.3 somehow fixed the issue

Glad to hear it,

So the Enhanced Input Plugin is disabled by default in 5.0.3 (and enabled by default in subsequent versions).

If you want to upgrade from 5.0.3, I’d do some learning/practice on Enhanced Input, then you’d be in a better spot to implement throttle/camera inputs etc.
