Why can't I increase the movement speed of my character with the movement input scale value

Why doesn’t this graph increase the movement speed? I’m upping the scale value (by quite an insane amount right now) but nothing’s happening.

Could this be some max movement speed thing?

Hey -

Add Movement Input only accepts a scale of (-1) - 1. Anything outside of this range is treated as being equal to -1 if moving backward or 1 if moving forward. An easy solution would be to instead change the “Max Walk Speed” of the character movement component. To do this you can add a Get node for the character movement component and drag off of that to create a Set Max Walk Speed node. Then you can wire your sprint button to this and set the speed as appropriate. You can use a second set node to set the speed back to the original value when then button is released.
