How to make APawn sliding like DefaultPawn do

Hi

I want to get work my flying APawn wich is controlled with my own input handling.

So it is flying already, but I want it to slide along the walls and floor like DefaultPawn does. Fly example doesn’t help with it.

With ACharacter I was able to apply movements to MovementComponent (although I wasn’t able to make it fly), but APawn does not have one, so temporary I using FVector Movement to apply location offset:

void AMyPawn::Tick(float deltaTime)
{
	Super::Tick(deltaTime);
	AddActorLocalOffset(Movement,true);
	Movement = FVector::ZeroVector;
}

Obviously it doesn’t slide, it just moving until collision happens.

I am not sure does MovementComponent handles a collision reaction to achieve sliding. If it’s true, please give me a hint what methods to override and how it integrate MovementComponent into my AMyPawn.

Let me summarize what I want to achieve:

I want to make my pawn fly with collision and sliding over static objects (C++)

Thanks for any help

P.S. Sorry my poor English

Ok
I found solution:

// AMyPawn.h

TSubobjectPtr<UFloatingPawnMovement> MovementComponent;

virtual class UPawnMovementComponent* GetMovementComponent() const OVERRIDE
{ 
   return MovementComponent; 
}

// AMyPawn.cpp

AMyPawn::AMyPawn(const class FPostConstructInitializeProperties& PCIP)
	: Super(PCIP)
{
	Capsule = PCIP.CreateAbstractDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(this, TEXT("Capsule"));
	static ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder<UStaticMesh> StaticMesh(TEXT("StaticMesh'/Game/Shapes/Shape_NarrowCapsule.Shape_NarrowCapsule'"));
	Capsule->SetStaticMesh(StaticMesh.Object);

	RootComponent = Capsule;

	Capsule->SetCollisionObjectType(ECollisionChannel::ECC_Pawn);

	MovementComponent = PCIP.CreateDefaultSubobject<UFloatingPawnMovement>(this, TEXT("Movement"));
	MovementComponent->UpdatedComponent = Capsule;
}

void AMyPawn::AddMove(FVector move)
{
	FRotator rot(PC->PlayerCameraManager->GetCameraRotation());
	this->AddMovementInput(rot.RotateVector(move), 10);
}

And Tick overriding is not necessary.
But there is some non sliding walls glitch now. But it’s another story
