Hey denaltheclone,
If you’re creating a new project from scratch and choose a Blank template, default movement during play just moves camera around because you don’t have a Game Mode assigned with a Player Controller. Does that sound like what you’re running into?
If you’re just starting out, you can open one of our pre-made projects (such as ShooterGame) and take a look at Blueprints in project. If you want to start a brand new project, you could also do so by choosing a template in New Project browser window. These have pre-existing Game Modes with all Player Controller settings made for you.
If you’d like to learn more about creating from scratch, there’s a FPS tutorial you can look over here:
Note that tutorial above includes some coding in C++.
There are also some great video tutorials here:
