Character doesn't shoot while walking

So I’m working on a third person shooter and I have added a gun, but when I walk it doesn’t let me shoot. I can shoot while crouching idle, crouching walking and idle, but for some reason when walking/running, It won’t let me fire. Does someone know what the problem might be?

It won’t let you fire? Is there anything in the code that could do that, eg. canShoot boolean? If not then it might be a collision problem. Try changing bullet spawn point or using some print string to find out what it collides with.

Drop a print string right after your bullet is spawned. If you get the message then its a collision issue, otherwise there’s logic preventing the spawn.

This helped me. Thank you. How would I drop code to prevent a collision between the player and the BP_pickup (gun). I’m learning so its messy and there is probably a better way.
