G’day
I’m following a tutorial to get character to walk around in third person. I’ve added a camera component to the Avatar I made. The last step I need to take it so move the camera around and make the character walk using WASD.
I think I’ve done what the book says but my character can only look left and right and it doesn’t move at all. I’ve done the axis binding and setup all the functions but there’s still no luck :(. I recompiled just to be sure but I still get the same result.
My .cpp
// Fill out your copyright notice in the Description page of Project Settings.
#pragma once
#include "GoldenEgg.h"
#include "Avatar.h"
void AAvatar::SetupPlayerInputComponent(class UInputComponent *InputComponent)
{
check(InputComponent);
/*This member function looks up the Forward and Strafe axis bindings that we just
created in Unreal Editor and connects them to the member functions inside the this
class.*/
InputComponent->BindAxis("Forward", this, &AAvatar::MoveForward);
InputComponent->BindAxis("Starfe", this, &AAvatar::MoveRight);
InputComponent->BindAxis("Forward", this, &AAvatar::MoveBack);
InputComponent->BindAxis("Starfe", this, &AAvatar::MoveLeft);
InputComponent->BindAxis("Yaw", this, &AAvatar::Yaw);
InputComponent->BindAxis("Pitch", this, &AAvatar::Pitch);
//
}
void AAvatar::MoveForward(float amount)
{
//Don't enter the body of this function if Controller is not set up yet, or if the amount to move is equal to 0
if (Controller && amount)
{
FVector fwd = GetActorForwardVector();
//we call Add movement input to actually move the player by amount in the fwd direction
AddMovementInput(fwd, amount);
}
}
void AAvatar::MoveRight(float amount)
{
if (Controller && amount)
{
FVector right = GetActorRightVector();
AddMovementInput(right, amount);
}
}
void AAvatar::MoveLeft(float amount)
{
if (Controller && amount)
{
FVector left = -GetActorRightVector();
AddMovementInput(left, amount);
}
}
void AAvatar::MoveBack(float amount)
{
if (Controller && amount)
{
FVector back = -GetActorForwardVector();
AddMovementInput(back, amount);
}
}
void AAvatar::Yaw(float amount)
{
AddControllerYawInput(200.f * amount * GetWorld() ->GetDeltaSeconds());
}
void AAvatar::Pitch(float amount)
{
AddControllerPitchInput(200.f * amount * GetWorld() ->GetDeltaSeconds());
}

void SetupPlayerInputComponent(class UInputComponent* InputComponent) override;
void MoveForward(float amount); //move forward function

Is there something I missed? I’m very new to programming.
