So I am trying to rotate an object when I press the “B” button, so whenever I do that the input doesn’t seem to be able to work on that object and only on the player any idea how to make it work?
Hello Thank You for your reply, I have tried this solution but it didn’t work I will send you my blueprint if you could check it out and tell me what’s wrong
Note: this is for debugging purposes not the real thing I am just trying to see if it rotates a bit or not.
- are you using
Bfor input anywhere else? - how many actors like this are there in the scene?
- place a
Print Stringnode after B - does it print when you mash the key?
- No I am not using B anywhere else
- I am using the default scene still its a new project
- No when I try a print string it doesn’t print
What are the chances you never clicked in the scene after running the project so the window simply has no focus?
I am using the default scene still its a new project
What does it mean? The script is inside an actor, surely.
But I can move normally with the player, wouldn’t that cause a problem if it wasn’t in focus mode?
Yes, Yes it is
You can test it in a clean project. That’s all it takes to process input. Enable input in the actor, place it in the world, mash buttons.
You can try messing with the priority, from what I found (Input in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.5 Documentation | Epic Developer Community and its subcategories), highest number = highest priority.
OP claims the key is not used anywhere else, priority would not matter. This is some kind of Pawn, btw:
But OP is also possessing another Pawn at the same time:

There are things about the setup we simply do not know about.
@CJTHEBEST69 Help us replicate the issue, include as much details as you can.
And here is the blueprint, I changed they key as if there is a problem with the B key
There is nothing being printed in the scene when I press the Key
You’re trying to process input in a Pawn you’re not possessing. Either possess that pawn, or use a non-pawn actor. Or use the player controller to send messages to any actor you want.
