How does input work in the Unreal Engine?
Unreal Engine’s robust input now is fully working. Therefore, in the future, input can be rebound to different keys based on the users preference. Hard coding input causes difficulty down the road with every blueprint.
Why do we use axis mappings in Unreal Engine 4?
In Unreal Engine 4 we wanted to make binding input events as easy as possible. To that end, we created Input Action and Axis Mappings. While it is certainly valid to bind keys directly to events, I hope I can convince you that using mappings will be the most flexible and convenient way to set up your input.
How does the scale work in Unreal Engine?
The Scale is a multiplier on the value of the key when summing up the Axis’ value. This is particularly useful for creating an axis out of keyboard keys (for example, W can represent pressing up on the gamepad stick while S represents pressing down). Now that I’ve defined some mappings, how do I use these things?
Where is the default touch interface in Unreal Engine?

The default one, DefaultVirtualJoysticks is located in shared engine content ( /Engine/MobileResources/HUD/DefaultVirtualJoysticks.DefaultVirtualJoysticks ).
When to use the lit shading model in Unreal Engine?

What do you call self illuminated materials in Unreal Engine 4?
Inside of Unreal Engine 4 (UE4), Self-Illuminated Materials are known as Emissive Materials. In the following How-to guide, we will be covering how you setup your Materials to use the Emissive input as well as how you can use the Emissive input to actually light the world that you are creating.
How to set string to axis in Unreal Engine?
Set the string value to the Axis Value from the output float from the event. Without pressing O and P the print outputs 0 every frame. Unreal Engine’s robust input now is fully working. Therefore, in the future, input can be rebound to different keys based on the users preference.
