Hey guys,

I’m trying to copy this fantastic game:

Whatever direction I take, I’m always running against a wall. I would like to move the 2 Pawns on 1 keyboard, WASD and IJKL (or arrow keys).
I tried to put 2 meshes in the default pawn, but I can’t add movement to the different meshes, because I only got 1 movement component and also the root is set to the first mesh.
So I tried to make 2 Actors, with a set camera (not sure if I should add it as another actor into the world, or add it to one of two pawns and do the math there). But I have no idea how I can move 2 different Pawns with 1 keyboard. I
can only posses 1 Pawn at a time, so how can I solve this problem? I really appreciate every single hint that might lead to the solution!! <3

To add 2nd (or more) local player use this node:

it will add player, create 2nd player controller which can possess 2nd pawn

Not what I was looking for. I wanted to control 2 Characters on 1 keyboard, WASD and UPLEFTDOWNRIGHT. You don’t need to create another controller nor possess the 2nd Pawn. Just use a MasterController, get the reference from the 2nd Pawn and add input from the MasterController. To see the solution:
