Characters that move like a mirror match

  1. I can’t figure out how to move two characters with one control.

  2. I imagine the movement as in the movie Anai Alection.

  3. I’m Japanese and I’m typing the text in English translation, so I’m sorry if it’s hard to understand.

It’s impossible to posses in 2 or more characters for one controller, as it’s impossible to one player has several controllers.
Is it First, Top-down or Third Person game (or other type there you directly possess to single pawn)? If so, I’d probably do something like this:

  1. In PlayerController make an extra variable to store your second character (first is possessed, so reference to this character automaticly stored in controller).
  2. Handle player input in PlayerController: on any input event get possessed pawn and call suitable events, after that get a second character from saved variable and also call similar events with modificated input values (for example, multiply AxisValue by -1 for MoveRight).

I have never seen Anai Alection, so maybe I don’t understand what you want correctly, but general idea of controlling several pawns with one controller is same.
It’s not a perfect solution. Maybe, there is better way to control several pawns, but I have never tried to do so.
