I’m new to Unreal and wanted to take a look at the example blueprints that are included in the built in projects. Unfortunately, they seem to be empty, even though the game works
Hey @MethanolSlurper! Welcome to the forums!
So the code is indeed there, you’re just not in the right place, don’t worry. 
What you’re looking at is the blueprint. The code is compartmentalized into the components attached to it!
The movement for the character will be in the controller BP that is attached to it, and the animation aspects are in the Animation_BP attached to it. Look at your “ThirdPersonController_BP” and “ThirdPersonAnim_BP” in your content browser to find this stuff!
