Unreal Engine 4.18
By default, Blueprint Actors are set not to receive player input.
* If every Blueprint would be listening to player input events it would hurt game performance.
To enable input events for a Blueprint:
In the Blueprint’s Event Graph,
Connect an Enable Input node to the BeginPlay Event,
Create a Get Player Controller node and connect it to the Player Controller parameter of the Enable Input node to set which player input events to listen to.
