Hi all, I am working on a 2player co-op 2d sidescroller, puzzle platformer project. I’m having troubles making the 2nd player receive input. Here’s what i am trying to do.
Spawn 2 player characters
Use 2 gamepads or 1 gamepad and 1 keyboard to control them individually.
I’ve looked and tried almost everything on the forum about this topic, but nothing seems to work for me. All of it has got me so confused to a point that I am just going to start a new project and start fresh.
Any help will be appreciated.
You could do this setup:
have single player controller, that reads all keyboard input
then have 2 pawns that do not read keyboard input directly, but player controller sends them values instead
It gets a bit more complicated when you want do characters, because they require controller.
So for this create Keyboard AI controller. You send instructions to pawn then pawn sends instructions over to controller AI.
And that AI moves pawn.
Then last of your problems is splitscreen.
I did similar setup for Top Down shooter, it has 4 characters and 1 to 4 players.
Each player can switch to and then control any unpossesed character.
Does this set up work for multiple inputs? I’ll have 2 gamepads, controlling 1 pawn each? When I set up the axis inputs for both gamepads in my Playercontroller blueprints, it uses both the inputs for the default character.
