Not Off To A Good Start

Development Programming & Scripting
1

I am going to explain my problem here as clear as I can:

I was following a tutorial to move a simple cube around creating the character controller and the game mode. I followed everything to a tee. Everything is as the video tutorial says. To my surprise when I test the forward and backward movement, it doesn’t work.

In the tutorials they use “Axis and Action mappings” which is “now deprecated”…Oh what a “pleasant” surprise. This means any tutorials I follow won’t work because they changed “this little thing”. Man I just Thank GOD I didn’t pay for any lessons or anything because I would be more furious than I am now.

The Input and axis mappings you are talking about sounds to be part of the Project Settings input method (last supported in UE 5.1.1, and fully removed in UE 5.2)
this system was replaced with EnhancedInputSubsystem

everything that was in the Project Settings method is still viable, and even expanded upon. Instead of just getting whether the button was pressed or released, we now get held states, and combo buttons are “technically” easier, and more re-usable.

the official documentation, and a brief tutorial can be found here:

beyond that is there anything specific that you are not clear on a translation for?

Use the same version of Unreal Engine as the tutorial while you are new instead of attempting to use the latest version.

4

You need to be patient. (Of course, telling someone who is frustrated to be patient is almost never going to work…)

The Engine is dynamic, so tutorials are ALWAYS going to be out of date.

Post your issue or ask a specific question so we can help you solve it.
