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?
- 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:
But I can move normally with the player
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.
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.
