is it possible to map actions and axes in the player controller rather than in the character, and if yes can someone explain the process of doing it.

C++ or BP?

c++ would be of preference

Not only is it possible, it’s where it should be. Override SetupInputComponent in your player controller and do all the bindings there.

Eg. (pseudo):

void AMyPlayerController::SetupInputComponent()
{
	Super::SetupInputComponent();

	this->InputComponent->BindAction("Walk", EInputEvent::IE_Pressed, this, &AMyPlayerController::OnWalkStart);
	this->InputComponent->BindAction("Walk", EInputEvent::IE_Released, this, &AMyPlayerController::OnWalkEnd);
}


void AMyPlayerController::OnWalkStart()
{
	AMyCharacter* character = Cast<AMyCharacter>(this->GetCharacter());
	if (character)
	{
		character->SetWalking(true);
	}
}

void AMyPlayerController::OnWalkEnd()
{
	AMyCharacter* character = Cast<AMyCharacter>(this->GetCharacter());
	if (character)
	{
		character->SetWalking(false);
	}
}

Thanks you a lot for the example
