I’ve got a blueprint character with “W,A,S,D” and controller input, and it worked all along, until yesterday.
My “W” and “Gamepad Left Thumbstick Up” input suddenly stopped working. I checked everything, and I can’t find the issue. The funny thing is, the “S” and “Gamepad Left Thumbstick Down” are assigned to the same axis mapping, just with a negative value, but they seem to work just fine. Can someone please help me?
Hey Nellen,
Can you change your input scale values to the following and see if that fixes your issue?
Tried it. Nope, doesn’t work. Would’ve been surprised, though.
That’s the weird thing, “S” is assigned to “MoveForward” as well, and it works! I’m so confused. I even have a similar problem in Unreal Tournament! I’m not kidding!
What happens when you make a new project with either the Third Person Template or the First Person Template? Does input work for either of those?
I tried the First Person Template, and yeah, it worked just fine.
There is something going on with your project. Make sure to check everything with your Game Mode, Character, Controller (if you have one), Level, and so on so nothing else is interfering with input.
This is my setup and it is working:
[Character Blueprint]
Something even weirder and more confusing just happened. Just to try it out, I added the arrow keys to my axis mappings, AND IT WORKED! But why doesn’t it work with the “W” key and the “Gamepad Left Thumbstick Up”?

Sorry, I’ve just received your latest reply, I’ll go and do that now! xD
Okay, I tried and tried, I even copied everything you have! Nothing works (except that arrow-keys-thingy I told you about)!
Can you upload your project so I can look at it? I am guessing that you are doing something that is blocking input for some reason.
Sure. It’d be best if you had an Email address so I can give you access via Google Drive.
It needs to upload 1-2 hours, though.
You can send me a private message on the UE4 forums.
Hey Nellen,
- Open your “Apartment” Map, in the Maps folder.
- Open the level Blueprint by clicking the “Blueprints” Button on the top menu bar
- Open Level Blueprint
- Delete the following:
- Save the map
- Play
Your issue should be fixed now.
Oh my god, I totally forgot about the level BP! Me be silly xD. Thank you so much!
Sincerely, Luke Kay
