UE4 C++ Tutorial - How To Move Pawns - Pawn Movement - UE4 / Unreal Engine 4 Intro to C++ - YouTube I have followed exactly everything on this tutorial and I cannot possess the pawn for the life of me , I changed the game mode, made a pawn class and made a BP version and added that as my default pawn, added a spring arm and camera to my pawn BP . And then add it into my scene and press play , nothing happens, please help?
