I am a beginner and need help.
I am trying to change camera when interacting with an object and change input mapping system.
But all the input controlls stop working after changing camera, I cant even get it to output a string.
A few common causes for “all input dies after switching camera”, in the order I’d check them:
- Where the input events live. Enhanced Input events only fire in an actor that receives input — normally the possessed Pawn or the PlayerController. If the new mapping’s events are inside the camera actor or the interactable object, call Enable Input on that actor (Player Controller = Get Player Controller 0).
- Set View Target with Blend doesn’t change possession — it only changes what you see, so your pawn’s input should keep working. If it stops, something else is removing it.
- Mapping context swap. Get the Enhanced Input Local Player Subsystem from the Player Controller and call Add Mapping Context with a valid context and a higher priority (or remove the old one first). If you clear all mappings and the Add node silently fails on an invalid reference, you end up with zero contexts.
- Input mode. If a widget opens during the interaction, make sure you’re not left in Set Input Mode UI Only — switch back to Game Only / Game and UI.
- Debug: type
showdebug enhancedinputin the console during play — it shows active mapping contexts and which actions fire, which usually reveals the problem immediately.
