Help with Inputs, please!

Development Programming & Scripting

Hello. I’m currently experiencing some troubles to get the results I want, so please someone help me.

I’m having this issues:

  • I created a manager that provides the inputs for two pawns. However no inputs work as intended.
    iI have three classes (Cam Manager, RTS Camera and Game Pawn). My manager controls in two TArrays the number of cameras and game pawns. What i want is for manager to set the inputs of both the other classes,and for a given pawn to be controlled but it isn’t working.

  • I can’t seem to get how to move a pawn towards the mouse direction…
    What I want to do is to move my camera pawn towards the direction the mouse is in the viewport. Like this:
    If I move my mouse to the right edge of the screen/viewport, I want my spectator cam to move in that direction, but I don’t understand how to do it.

  • I don’t understand how to zoom in and out with my cameras.
    What I want here is to simply alter the length of a spring arm using the mouse scroll (Scroll Up to zoom in and scroll down to zoom out). I think I’m doing it wrong and I wanted to know hot to do it

Please, help. It’s for educational purposes and I can’t get it to work.

Here are some code bits:
