📝 Quick guide

To get started with this plugin, you can effortlessly extend either the ACarPawn or ACarDriveablePawn classes. The ACarDriveablePawn class provides additional functionality for handling input and camera movement, enhancing the control and immersive experience.

Furthermore, it is recommended to configure the input actions using the Enhanced Input system, which has been officially adopted since Unreal Engine version 5.1. This system replaces the deprecated input system and offers improved features and flexibility.

Once you have completed the configuration and setup process, your chaos vehicle is ready to go! If you need assistance with setting up animations, engine curves, or physics, we have a helpful video tutorial available for you to watch by LeafBranchGames.

Now that your chaos vehicle is complete, you can further enhance its functionality by tweaking it in the blueprint editor.
