Hard stopped on the blueprint - keyboard input not responding at all

[Chris_Nye]

Following the lecture, everything appears wired up as per the lecture. However, the Space Bar event never responds to the keyboard.

I have searched google for potential answers, but all of the fixes have not worked.

This is the empty level with the chair and table and a cube.

What did I miss somewhere that is causing this blueprint event to not register the keyboard being pressed?

Did you click inside the viewport first?

Thats an interesting difference from unity (having to click into the viewport to enable input). Thank you for the response and the fix.

If you go into your settings you can enable “Game Gets Mouse Control” to have the game automatically have mouse and keyboard focus when you press play.
