Is it possible to control a vehicle with a touch input?

Hi All,

I’be been looking for an answer to a question regarding a touch input for a wheeled vehicle but none of the information available (via Google and the AnswerHub) seems to focus on the one thing - can I drive a car using a ‘touch/tap to move’ input rather than using a keyboard or the virtual joypads?

In essence what I’m looking to do is to duplicate a similar experience to that of Toca Boca’s ‘Toca Cars’ which allows the user to drive the car by tapping or dragging on the screen. I can use the supplied TopDownController to control a character but when it comes to a vehicle, I’m absolutely stumped.

My aim is to build a game that is simple for smaller kids to use and the idea of using virtual joypads doesn’t suit the style of the game I have in mind.

I am new to UE4 and as a 3D modeller, I’m still finding my way around the system and getting my mind around all the various inputs and processes involved within the package.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - even if it’s just to state what I’m looking to do can’t be done :slight_smile:
