I began with a blank UE5 project and set my sights on adding coherent movement for my competition gamemode.

I decided to use “EnhancedInput” as it was more suited to my control scheme:

At first I used the “AddMovementInput” function for my movement:

However, using “AddMovementInput” proved irratating as my movement is based on tapping the directional keys. Therefore, I opted to using a simple set location for the time being:

Enemy

I began creating my enemy with a Punch function, initially this will randomize a direction and move the enemy. If the enemy has moved then their position will be reset upon the next timer tick:

This will evolve to be a hit on random sides of the player.
