Need help with Aiming

hi, sorry was busy the last days… how about that, it will only track the gun in respect to the player [ue_lookDirection] this is just a dot operation hope this is the thing you are looking for p.s. the dot goes from -1 - 1 but you can clamp it to your needs cheers

when i come back i can make a tittle example but that will take a few hours ~

in this 2 posts you will find the DotProducts for you aiming or character facing…

i would say that DotProduct is one of the most important calculations in gaming math…
Dot product - Wikipedia here is a definition but simple sayed “The dot product, also called scalar product, is a measure of how closely two vectors align, in terms of the directions they point.”

but if you are interested here is a super video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOYiVLEnhrw she is awesome and has alot of useful videos

and this one is also a hit… i really like her… her videos are top notch
