Hey There
Yes - managed to sort it out in the end. There were a few issues. Mainly i was trying to run before i could walk!
This is what helped me in the end:
I didn’t follow the rest of the tutorial but the start explains how you would set up a controlled. I thought id been doing all this but i guess id made a mistake somewhere.
Parenting camera with the right component is very important too if you plan to have the camera follow.
Let me know if that tutorial helps and good luck! Things got a lot easier after i got to grips with the basics. UE4 is amazing.
