The input system has been changed with UE 5.2, so if you're using that one you might have to look into how to use the enhanced input system and apply that to this tutorial.

bro did all this in one video...amazing

[tmwonastick]

I’ve watched hours of beginning with unreal. The first 5 minutes of this answered nearly every question I had. Thank you.

[CaprianoPlays]

I just watched the whole video without having any interest in unreal or game development. Thanks YouTube. Good suggestion.

Code Cobra respect for these 10-30 minute tutorials great for Warm ups and learning on the go before a longer tutorial

[dorondavid]

First time watching your videos, but you're very clear and precise with your instructions, and you show what they do.

Good work!

amazing tutorial thanks! even for me as a noob with 2 hours in unreal engine. i subbed thanks!

The tutorial still works for me just fine, except for the Enhanced Inputs. With a tiny modification, the camera setup works fine as expected.

Since the Input Blueprint has been updated to Enhanced Input in UE 5.3, for the section involving BP_CameraManager and Event BeginPlay, simply follow the steps that @CobraCode specifies with one simple modification. Begin by breaking the link between Event BeginPlay and the Cast to PlayerController in the Add the Input Mapping Group in the BP_ThirdPerson blueprint. Follow every instruction that @CobraCode gives, up to the point where you create the Set View Target with Blend. Connect the top rightmost pin in Set View Target with Blend to the top leftmost pin of Cast to PlayerController.

Continue the rest of the tutorial as is. Good luck!
