control mouse input event processing

[barbrian0723]

hi
how would you control by what mouse input events are processed
my main character moves by means of the mouse
i also want to do other stuff based on mouse clicks
so in certain blueprints i would check and work off mouse click events
i manage to do the latter, only problem is that now and again the character would also move at the same time, when he is not really supposed to, because the mouse click he is reacting to, is not really intended for a move, but to achieve something else
so i need to control when mouse clicks are processed as character movement and when not
i suppose i need to make changes in the character blueprint?
thanks

Example of WASD:

"Consume input" doesn't work (the input still propagates everywhere)

Imagine I have 2 sets of controls: IMC_Default (Priority 0) to move around with WASD IMC_Backpack (Priority 1) to move between backpack slots, also with WASD if priorities are equal, the one added last gets to the hardware input first [image] When I open my backpack and WASD inside it, I’d rather not walk off the cliff, so I add a new Mapping Context with higher priority, so it can intercept Actions associated with keys: [image] Think with mapping contexts - abstracted layers of input.
