Hey everyone, I have this problem where I am trying to get two characters/players to move at the same time using WASD for the first character and the arrow keys for the second. Only Character1 moves when I start the game. They are two separate BPs. I’m pretty sure it’s something to to do with the Player Controller but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong or what I’m missing.
Character1: Auto Possess Player set to Player 0. Auto Receive Input set to Player 0.
Character2: Auto Possess Player set to Player 1. Auto Receive Input set to Player 1.
Character1 Begin Play:
Character2 Begin Play:
(I used F to check to see if he was accepting any input and he wasn’t. Pressing F did nothing)
Character1 can move and jump but Character2 stands dead still:
Are you trying to make a LAN game? If so then Character2 only has Player/Player Controller 0, so you are possessing it with nothing.
No, I’m just making a local multiplayer fighting game. Do you think I should change something in the game mode? I’m using the SideScroller template.
The parent class for both characters is Character
I`m not sure, but i think you have only one player controller. You must connect other player via server-client functionality or use Create Player node for splitscreen afaik.
Also i’ve found a question similar to yours:
It’s not a splitscreen game, it’s a fighting game like Mortal Kombat where a camera follows them around. But, I’ll look into that question, thanks! In the meantime though, I would still appreciate any more suggestions 
“For local multiplayer, Unreal cannot do split controllers. Because first keyb/mouse/gamepad/joystick always assign to Player 0. And all other game controllers assign to next player accordingly. Other words, you need to connect 2 or more gamepads.”
So if that’s the case, how can I assign the same keyboard to work for Character1 and Character 2? I don’t really understand
This is the cameraBP where I store the references to Character1 and Character2 as Variables (C1 and C2).
I also checked to see if Character2 is Player Controlled but it’s not, apparently
did you ever figured that out?
