Syntax

virtual void AddMovementInput
(
    FVector WorldDirection,
    float ScaleValue,
    bool bForce
)

Remarks

Add movement input along the given world direction vector (usually normalized) scaled by 'ScaleValue'. If ScaleValue < 0, movement will be in the opposite direction. Base Pawn classes won't automatically apply movement, it's up to the user to do so in a Tick event. Subclasses such as Character and DefaultPawn automatically handle this input and move.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
WorldDirection	Direction in world space to apply input
ScaleValue	Scale to apply to input. This can be used for analog input, ie a value of 0.5 applies half the normal value, while -1.0 would reverse the direction.
bForce	If true always add the input, ignoring the result of IsMoveInputIgnored().
