hi! How can i use AddControllerYawInput on actor without player, but with player controller? AddMovementInput works.
I have already tried everything (

i can move(addmovementinput) multiply pawns with 1 main player controller and many aicontrollers, but cant rotate(AddControllerYawInput). how can i do it?

nepopus · March 30, 2017, 11:48am

i think i need to replace all aicontroller with playercontrollers, becouse aicontroller cant rotate(i cant change his pawn rotation in runtime editor). but what next? i can rotate only pawn with main player controller, but why cant other?

anonymous_user_a7d9c852 · March 30, 2017, 2:51pm

Hi,
just test the following. Make a blueprint from your c++ class and check if the flag Use Control Rotation is set. If not, then the pawn or char will not rotate even if the controller rotates.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

When i press test1, test2, test3 i can possess in pawn and rotate it individually, but cant rotate all together

I learned to use debugging

void APlayerController::PlayerTick( float DeltaTime )

i need rotate pawn with player controller, but when player = null
what should I do?

What is the best way to move to a location using AddMovementInput?
I do not want to use the SetActorLocation and the VInterp, because I have a UFloatingPawnMovement component for this. Or is there another way how to use it for smooth moving to location?

Same question for AddControllerYawInput and AddControllerPitchInput. Thanks.

P.S. i can not use navigation, because it is Camera(it is necessary to move through objects).
