So, I think the problem lies somewhere in the fact that only my first character is able to recieve input. If I put the same input in my second character it doesn’t get fired. So now the question is why does this happen?
Only the character with index 0 can use the inputs set in the project settings?
Solved, You actually needed 2 joypads to test this.
Keyboard and controller will register as player 0.
