I’m trying to use multiple gamepads in a single non-splitscreen local game. See this screenshot for my setup. ![88903-multiple_input.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/6/0/c/60c0c0d7b3dcabbf9b735126443729482be19595.jpeg) My GameMode says I have two players, but when I try to get the input from the second PlayerController, it never returns anything other than 0,0. I have two xbox gamepads plugged in when I start Unreal. Is there anything else I need to do? How can I tell Unreal to use the second gamepad for the second PlayerController? ---
