Advice on how to make a freely rotating & jumping character

You don’t want your c++ character representation to do this, unless you are aiming for a phyics simulation. You should use the normal ACharacter and it’s default movement and have the spinning, flipping and all the ninja stuff be handled via animation. For jumping, leaping and dashing you probably want animations that handle the root movement for you.

Check AnimationBlueprints for that and probably watch Zack Perrish’s ThirPerson Tutorial.

Thanks DennyR, that was a really helpful list of tutorials, especially part 22 about Animation Notifies!

This did take my previous attempt further:

What is wrong with my combat system logic?

Tho, for now I will look into making my own movement component that will implement my own version of root movement using animation variable curves in Persona.

Thanks for providing keywords to search for and the general advice!
