Moving character

Development Getting Started & Setup

Hi, I made a character that uses wsad input to rotate. Now I would like to make that char move forward after spawning and use wsad to change the direction in which it will move. Basicaly to use wsad for steering.
How can I do that?

You’re asking about something that must have been done who knows how many times…

In short:

  • Add Controller Yaw Input to rotate
  • Add Movement Input along a forward vector to move forth and back

Well I just started with unreal so… but I think you dont understand what i mean… I dont want to use w,s input to go forward and back , i use w,s to rotate up and down. I want the char to start moving by itself after spawning and and also not only to a certain location or only on one axis.
Basic idea is to have a flying char that you steer (rotate) so that it doesnt crash into obstacles.

but I think you dont understand what i mean

I did not, indeed. :innocent: However, my answer stays pretty much the same:

I want the char to start moving by itself

  • on Tick: Add Movement Input along a forward vector to automatically traverse in the facing direction
  • use Enhanced Input to Add Controller Yaw/Pitch Input to rotate

Yeah I didnt explain it properly… my bad.

I got it now so thank you very much.
