Hi guy’s,

Just been Googling this for 2 hr without any success so i just want to be able to use my keyboard left&right arrows key to emulate the current A&D input on the third person character controller template.

Thank for any help on this.

Would this work for you:

I have already tried to change the input from A&D to left&right but still the character controller just rotate when i press the arrows so maybe it is something related to the blueprints i am not sure?

This sounds like you just want additional controls for the same input. Perhaps you could describe the desired behaviour in more detail. You want to strafe instead of turn?

Hi Everyone(perfect nick for global greeting eh eh)
That’s exactly what i am after i want my left and right arrow to act like strafing but like i previously mention changing A&D to left and right does not yield the same result as default A&D for some reasons i cannot understand. I would like to mention that i am using a true first person setup with camera link to head and use pawn rotation and use controller rotation yaw are both active…

Hi pixelquaternion, can you describe the locomotion you are receiving?

An easy oversight to make is overlooking current input mappings. If you started out from the default Third Person Template, when you add the new Axis Mappings for Left/Right to your project settings-> inputs, you must also remove the existing Left/Right key mappings from the TurnRate axis mapping. This should give you the desired result.

Let us know if that works.

If you just want strafing:

Since you’re after first person movement, why don’t you open up the template that came with the engine, the movement is implemented there perfectly.

Hi Everyone,
Thank for the blueprint regarding strafing and if i didn’t use the first person controller it is because i want to have a body for my first person and not only a pair of arms since it would look goofy over a network match!

Hi there,

Thank i will test this tonight or in the morning and i will get back to you. Sorry if my question was not clear enough since i am not a native English speaker.

OK after removing the turnrate left and right input it work like a charm thank mate.

Oh and by the way can someone tell me how to make the answer here as solved?
