can I get a quick 101 on how the inputs work?

I’m kind of confused on what classes or object are being utilized when I start an empty level.

My question is what are you actually controlling when you start a new C++ project with the basic code. I’ve tried creating a new APlayerController class but I could not get the same movements are the starter content project.
How I was able to move in X,Y,Z plane but I could not manipulate the Pitch, Yaw, Roll. I thought it was the camera I was controller but I was wrong.

so what am I actually controlling when I spectate the level without a pawn before I attach to a pawn.

Hope I made sense, please help.

When a controller doesnt have a pawn a SpectatorPawn is spawned. The spectator pawn inherits from DefaultPawn which has a bunch of input bindings setup for flying movement.

You will probably want to go through the input docs to get a full picture but basically most of your control bindings will be setup in your pawns. Then in your controller setup input that is universal like opening the in game menu.
