Well simply put as the title reads I have an issue. I am attempting to do a 2D side scroller like R-type from SNES days. I am attempting to learn Blueprinting. However the issue I have currently is, that I cannot for the life of my solve the issue I have. I can go left to right (forward and backward) using A and D without issue. However I cannot go up and down using W and S. What is weird is, when I switch from orthographic camera to perpsective camera it seems it works, only issue is, the camera/ship goes in and out from the background I put in the game as I move forward. if I switch back to ortho, it doesn’t work.
I put in “enhanced input action” connected a Get actor Forward vector, and a get actor up vector added a add movement input to both of them. I even tried get up vector and get forward vector. tried to apply swizzle and negate to W and S. but no dice. also set to Can fly in the character movement as well.
what I am trying to do is move up along Z axis for up and down and along x asis for left to right.
please look at my code to see what I am doing wrong, I am sure its something incredibly simple but mind you I am just starting, however this is creating an obstacle from me moving forward. I am however looking at tutorials to learn the fundamentals of blueprint while I do this. let me know your thoughts on this and any help would be greatly appreciated.
