I’m sorry if this is posted in the wrong section of the forum I’ve never posted anything before so I wasn’t sure where to put it.
I am having trouble figuring out the proper way to create a custom character with custom movement via c++. I’m sure this has been answered before but I can’t seem to find anything on it.
I have tried so far starting with the c++ Third person template and subclassing the Character movement component but it’s turning out to be very complicated and it feels like there must be a better way to do this.
Am i doing the correct thing by subclassing the component or am I just supposed to use the component and write custom code in a subclass of the Character or is there something else I’m missing ? I have tried looking at Ramas Tutorial for custom movement components but it’s very old and I’m not sure if doing it that way would keep the functionality of the third person template.
Thank you for your time and answers.

Hello,
I am also searching a way to do these kinds of stuff. For the moment I found that you will need to create a plugin in order to create a new class, deriving from an existing one. I have tried it myself but there were several errors in the compilation of the code

I think there is a way to do this by creating a plugin. Maybe there are some kind of tricks to do…
