Issues with movement in Unreal

class SHOOTERASSETPACK_API AShooterCharacter : public ACharacter

It actually says that right here.

Hmm, I may have sent you the wrong file. I tried copying and pasting the code onto it. See if this works:

Still empty.

Hmm, I’m not sure why it’s doing that. I’m sure I’m sending the right file. I’ve tried it in Dropbox instead. Don’t know if that’ll make a difference.

You can download it and see for yourself. You’ve been working on the ShooterAssetPack project.

[NuMetalManiac]

I see what you mean. Shall I package and send you the ShooterAssetPack project instead?

[DanM]

Yes.

Hello

So, when I was trying to package the other file to send to you, I accidentally deleted it, tried to get it back but was struggling so I decided to retrace my steps by restarting the project to see if it would work and it did. I am able to move and jump. I’m not sure why it wasn’t doing that before, although it could be that I was using the wrong file but it is working now. Thanks for all your help on that too, by the way.

I have run into another issue though. My Shooter Character doesn’t move with the camera and I’m not sure why. Any suggestions?

Also, the level that came with the project looks a little different compared to the video, not sure if that matters? (For example: the little passage in the video is nowhere to be seen in the level I got)

Your character doesn’t have a camera.
