Getting Paragon Characters to Attack in Unreal Engine 5 UE5

[@mishthasaxena1371]

Amazing series! It was so simple to follow!!! This helped me so much! I was wondering if there's a way to develop a combat system between two paragon characters as a player/ enemy interaction. Would love to see a tutorial on that!!

@mishthasaxena1371 Yes, I'd love to make a tutorial on that! There are some major changes with characters/AI since I published this and I'm hoping to cover the new (and more powerful) ways to control characters in the near future. Hopefully, I can extend that series to fulfill your request!

Hey ProfMoto - have you tried updating the Paragon Character Blueprints with UE 5.4.3? It seems more events have changed since this video. For example the mouse turn and mouse lookup.

@igotthis.fitllc1585 Thank you for letting me know. I'm just getting back from a break (8 months) and sounds like I need to see what has changed in 5.4.3. I should be back with some updates (and new tutorials) in the next few weeks. Figuring out your issue on this is close to top of my Unreal to do list.

Hello, Thank you for your tutorial, Actually I'm trying to have a paragon character play as an AI and somehow it refuses to attack... Can you help sir

[@iamprofmoto]

thanks for letting me know, @williamsrabenjamina . Sounds like @igotthis.fitllc1585 thinks it has to do with 5.4.3. Please let me know if you are using the same version. I'll dig into the issue soon.

When i get to the stage where i am fixing the mouse inputs, i look for "InputAxis turn right / left mouse button" and same with "InputAxis look up / down mouse" however i can not find them. Have i done something wrong or has it changed? I am using Unreal Engine 5.3.2.

[@iamprofmoto]

@indianastone1028 Sorry for the delay in my response! Yes, there was another major change in the inputs and many of the things I show in this video have been depreciated. Instead of InputAxis turn right you can use the Event Mouse X and for InputAxis look up you can use Mouse Y. That should get it working for you. You might still get an warning from InputAxis MoveForward and InputAxis MoveRight, but it will still let you compile and it should work properly. A better way to handle all this would be to create Input Bindings in the Project Settings, which I'll tackle in a future video for 5.3.2 as I am personally still using the deprecated Input and 5.3.2 now has Enhanced Input.

That sounds exciting @nathanaelgaming007 There is a rich history to tap into for Sun Wukong, and it seems that there are a number of games popping up these days! Best of luck with your build and I hope these tutorials continue to be helpful!
