How to set up Enhanced Input for APlayerController in C++?

I too am trying to add the Enhanced Input via the Controller instead the Character (to allow that segregation).

Thanks @Rogue_Programmer for the help in solving the issue instead of a workaround!
Following your solution I couldn’t find in the base classes where ‘StartFire’, 'SafeRetryClientRestart ', and ‘OnPossess’, should be using ‘SetupPlayerInputComponent’, so I couldn’t follow the example.
Would love to know where I missed them :slight_smile:

BUT I did manage to make my inputs work just the way you are trying @Thalamus01.
Any chance (just like @Rogue_Programmer suggested), that you accidently didn’t set up the Mapping and Input in the Controller’s Blueprint?

This is my code in the controller:

void ATantrumPlayerController::BeginPlay()
{
	Super::BeginPlay();

	if (UEnhancedInputLocalPlayerSubsystem* Subsystem = ULocalPlayer::GetSubsystem<UEnhancedInputLocalPlayerSubsystem>(GetLocalPlayer()))
	{
		Subsystem->AddMappingContext(MappingContext, 0);
	}
}

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

	UEnhancedInputComponent* Input = Cast<UEnhancedInputComponent>(InputComponent);
	Input->BindAction(JumpAction, ETriggerEvent::Triggered, this, &ATantrumPlayerController::RequestJumpAction);
	Input->BindAction(LookAction, ETriggerEvent::Triggered, this, &ATantrumPlayerController::RequestLookAction);
	Input->BindAction(MoveAction, ETriggerEvent::Triggered, this, &ATantrumPlayerController::RequestMoveAction);

}

And this is the Controller’s Blueprint inputs:

If it still doesn’t work please let us know, I would love to try and help further!

Edit: wanted to add that I’m using UE5.4, don’t know if that’s related in any way, but thought I’d mention it
