After messing around with some stuff I still have a few issues.
Setting this up in my Gamemode does spawn in a second character but it is a copy of the character I already have. I am trying to spawn in a different one. I tried using the SpawnActor node to spawn it but when using either or even both of these nodes I could not control the second character.
Skipping assigning the gamepad to player one didn’t do anything for me. Both the controller and keyboard were tied to the first player. I even went so far as to buy a second controller since someone I know said they couldn’t get multiplayer to work without using two controllers and despite both being registered by UE I still could only control the first character and the second controller wouldn’t do anything. I tested both controllers outside of UE and they worked perfectly.
This is the BP set up I have for the parent BP of my two characters. I’m not sure if this could be something that is causing the issue but I figured I’d share it.
Here is my IMC setup as well. Every action has a controller input set up for it
I’m really not sure what could be causing the issue at this point since even when I just try to create a second player I can’t even control them
