Creating Character Movement With The New Enhanced Axis Mappings In Unreal Engine 5 (Tutorial)

Matt i dont know if youll see this but you are the man Matt i appreciate your help youre making so many peoples projects easier and better and taking stress off of us thanks for the help man much appreciated

I've seen a lots of videos on this topic and as expected this one is no exception

why u don't use C++?

If your character is moving forward even while pressing S key, just add a negate modifier after the swizzle modifier to S key.

Hey question. My scene goes into free camera when I start. Why doesn't it go to the character instead? have everything set up but it still doesn't register the character class. Is there something I missed?

i rly don't know who at epic thought "yeah, this is all really intuitive let's ship it as is!". Even knowing how things are wired up the BP code is anything but easily readable. Just look at the IA_Move setup.

could you set the input binding to a UI element ? kind of like a virtual button ?

Appreciate this video. knew most of it, but hadn't done it in a while and you pointed out a few things I didn't remember (or I didn't know to begin with lol)

WOW! That is the most ridiculous and convoluted mapping I've ever seen for 1D to 2D. Why wouldn't they just let you specify a Vector to be multiplied by the Input ?? Someone UE botched it.

Thanks❤

idk why they had to go and complicate things

doesn't work for 2D games

I'm coming from around 1 year of using Unity, and this is my first time and blueprint in Unreal Engine and I'm simply amazed on how fast getting a working character controller is here, instead of coding a whole function just to rotate the character in the direction of the camera, I just put a node and thats it, so far I'm really in love with Unreal

This video was super helpful!! Thanks so much!

This input system really, really sucks badly! The old one is far better....

This was really helpful, It feels like a completely new engine in a good way, haven't touched unreal since 4.7

i don't get it, what do those steps mean, you didn't even say it

Double middle click to make a new point on the blueprint line then hold alt and left click to move it

I get whats going on but it seems bizarre to change to this, the old input system seemed fine to me idk

Prior to your video this was way more confusing to understand than necessary even by the Unreal documentation. You made it clear. Thanks ALOT. subbed

my input "look" the mouse look.. it is only working when i hold down a mouse button at the same time as moving the mouse.. im a tad lost with this new system. not sure i like it.

Hello, it is a really good tutorial i understand perfectly thanks for it but i have a rotation problem with my camera movement which is when i try to make my camera move up it go down or opposite. Do you have any solition for it. Thanks in advance .

Thank You!

very nice tutorial man

Be very careful with the 3D models you use. Some of them bring weird gremlins into the game, almost like they haven't been exported properly and the axes are wrong.

I was having issues with an asset pack where this just didn't work. The camera boom was moving the character, so when you moved the camera the character just flipped forward and was hovering face down as if lying down on an invisible floor.

doesnt work fo me.. My character just stay on place and the camera as well, like no movement at all of anything

Damn... there's no way i would've figured it out by myself, ever. I just started learning Unreal, but this made me think if i ever going to be able to make anything at all

Followed the steps for it to just not work lol XD

ok so I figured out the z axis issue.. if your zed axis is inverted like up is down and down is up, in the you character Blue Print in the Look Setup Plug in a Negate Float in-between yaw and pitch and connect the value y from the event through the negate float and into the controller pitch!! thank me later..

can anyone help my z axis is the opposite to what i want if i look up it looks down and if I look down it looks up i cannot figure out how to change it I have tried negate and swizzle in the imc however it doesn't fix it :((

How to get character to face cursor in a top/down scenario?

Great! Thanks a lot...
Just one question: is it working like a charm with 5.2?

Why is this so fiddly? In Unity there's much less faffing around, a few lines of C# code and you're good to go.

This seems like a convoluted circus.

Doesn't work for me, it seems like my character is stuck inside some 2D dimension while it's a 3D game, I don't understand ...

How do you get your character to stay on the ground and not float around in the air when pointing the camera upwards?

Sorry I am late, but I am a noob at this, could you do a tutorial to add animations to this movement, or a locomotion tutorial?

Thank you very much sir!

Not exactly related to this video, but what happened in 5.2 that there are no axis value nodes, like Get MoveForward? I'm trying to migrate a project from 5.1.1 to 5.2.1 and those nodes aren't there...

Not spawning please help

Finally a tutorial that shows things from scratch!

When I do this, my cast to the controller fails, any idea as to why this is? This is getting fairly frustrating not being able to figure out why the cast fails.

For those that want to invert the Y axis. Go to you imput mapping context (IMC_MyGame) and add a Negate modifier for IA_Look, and check it for on Y only, so uncheck X and Z.

can you show top down shooter mobile touch movement?

i dosent work on 5.2, i revied this like 10times, making step by step, and GG still not wroking

Where is the movement speed being set?

The way the left right forward and back movement controls are added is a bit more tedious, but I guess I can get used to it.

what i was looking for. Your a legend Dude Cheers!

I need help when i compile i get errors that the blueprint (selft) is not a pawn or is not a controller
