So I’m trying to organize extra controls by adding new (Input Mapping Context) VR Template is being used. . . My PROBLEM I create a new input action. (mouse 2Dvector) When I put the action in IMC\_Default it works as needed. (blueprint) When I put it only on the new IMC\_Mouse+Keyboard it does not work at all. (blueprint) . . 1 I have added a new action (mouse control) ![Input Action](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/4/d/d/4dd3600630ee2be3e0c5b6f83c86b3852d5a4bdc.jpeg) . . 2 What I want I want to call it in a NEW input mapping context (below) ![Mapping Context Options](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/4/4/7/447d4ba63dc0b6eea1ae4a3c7336aa41a52181e3.jpeg) . . 3 I add it the same way in IMC\_Default and IMC\_Mouse+Keyboard ![IMC_Default](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/4/4/9444509bdf76c23b4ec1d132691687e897695b1e.jpeg) Like this . . 4 Then I call it in the blueprint ![Adding Mapping Context](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/a/b/6/ab612a41df3ce372f270113376bfc453dc7dfc05.jpeg) . . 5 Use the input action to control the player (Blueprint) ![Mouse Application BP](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/5/8/3/5838326c6f823d2429ba5d280b0379fd1320caa2.jpeg) . PROBLEM When I put the action in IMC\_Default it works as needed. When I put it only on the new IMC\_Mouse+Keyboard it does not work at all. What could be the issue? Thanks for reading this far, I hope I formed my post well enough. ---

I would try going to project settings, under the engine category is a section for enhanced input. All of the other mapping context should appear in this section and you have to add your new context also. I don’t know why this is needed but I think it’s a VR template specific thing and you normally would not have to add the context in that way. If that doesn’t fix it then running the console command, “Showdebug EnhancedInput” is a good way to identify why inputs are not working. ---
