Quick question, but a very frustrating one. My character won’t move. I’m using a First Person Template, and I can’t move around with my character. I can look around all right, but the WASD key or the controller won’t move my character. Here’s the blueprint, attached as an image.
I’ve tried changing everything I can think of, but still to no avail. Has anything like this happened to anyone in the past? As far as I know, there’s nothing wrong with the character… please help!
I’m not close to the Editor but maybe I can try to help, first of all “No sabia que el editor podia verse en otro idioma como Espanol” (I wasn’t aware of the editor in other languages), this looks really weird to me, those false and true pins coming out of the get move forward and get move right, have you tried adding a const value to the character movement directly from the input event? my guess is that the calculation coming out of the move right and move forward is not working.
Hi Nullbot! Yes, the editor comes in other languages haha. I would rather have it in English, but I haven’t put the time or effort into changing it!
In any case, those true and false pins are the default ones for a first person character template in Unreal, so they should work. I mean, they were working earlier. The problem first appeared when I tried moving the camera from its default position (I wanted it not to pivot around the mesh, but around itself). When I changed the camera position, the movement functionality stopped working.
I tried setting the camera back to its original position, but still to no avail. Everything as far as I’m aware is back to defaults, but no movement so far
Hi Brais, ok so I can see that the camera component is inside of the mesh (by default this is attached to the root component) just reset that, and about the movement well the player moves around using the movement component, I cannot tell why the player might be static (I’d have to see your setup more closely) just try to fiddle with the movement component or try to open a new project using a 3rd person template and try to find the differences. I wish I could help you more but without the editor in front of me I feel handicapped ^^
Hi again! I tried doing what you mentioned, but still no luck. Thanks a lot for the answers though! I’ll try fiddling with the character a little bit more, but it looks like a very strange behaviour to me.
My best guess is that while I was modifying some parameter, some setting changed automatically without me noticing and now I can’t pinpoint it. I’ll keep trying, but I really don’t want to move the whole scene to a new project. I’d love to find out why this is happening.
Hi Dexkz, thanks for your answer, but unfortunately that’s something that I’ve already checked.
I’ve imported another character from a FPS template and it works without a problem. I’ll try to export my non working character into another project and see if I have trouble over there as well. I’m pretty convinced that I might have encountered a bug though, so I’ll try to file a bug report as soon as I can check the project on multiple machines.
