Set the arrow’s rotation to absolute / world.

Also, plug this one back in:

Regarding restricting aiming angles:

Converting to degrees often complicates things unnecessarily but can be OK. Dot Product is your friend, though:

The Dot Product of 2 directional vectors will be in range of -1 to 1. Anything that’s above 0 is in front of you, anything below 0 is behind (and every other value in between matters, too!) [dot.jpg] I grab all the actors around the player using a Sphere Overlap (as in the original suggestion) and loop through the elements of the array, checking my angles - Dot player’s forward and the direction to each target. For dot values greater than .5 I mark the target, and add that actor to the array…
