Hi matt2405,

A good place to start would be the 3rd Person Blueprint tutorials we have on the Wiki. You can also use these same techniques for a 1st person character as well. Another place to look into would be the pre-made templates that come with the editor. Just choose either code or blueprint and see how we did it.
