Demonstration of Astrum in UE4

Demonstration

1. Create a Player Controller (recommended inheriting from AstrumPlayerControllerBase)
   1. If NOT inheriting from AstrumPlayerControllerBase ensure the class implements the "AstrumInputInterface" (Image Ref)
2. Set the newly created controller class in AstrumClient (Image Ref | Video Ref)
3. Create a Player Character (in this case we'll use the Third Person Starter Content) (Video Ref)

   If you don't have the ThirdPerson starter content, follow the following sub-list:

   1. In the Content Browser, click "Add New...",
   2. Click "Add Feature or Content Pack..."
   3. Click "Third Person"
   4. Click "+ Add to Project"
4. Have Player Controller spawn Player Character on Custom Event (promote to variable and then possess) (Video Ref | Blueprint Ref)
5. Setup inputs (move input + buttons) (Image Ref | Blueprint Ref)
6. Setup game mode by implementing the following events (Blueprint Ref)

Note the "Cast to DemoPlayerController" node. This will likely break should you paste the BP bin into your project. Replace the cast node with that of the controller class you made earlier.
