In short, i ran into this bug when the Trackpad on my Vive wands returning zero all the time since i upgraded from 4.23.1 to 4.24.3. After a lot of troubleshooting, i found out that there's an undocumented (or well hidden) requirement that the bindings has to be named {myname}_X and {myname}_Y otherwise it will always report 0. Also since 4.24, the pawn or character in question has to be possessed. This last part, may actually have been a requirement before, im not sure to be honest.

Anyway, hope this will save someone else a lot of headache.
