Hello,
my Code in Blueprint doesn’t seem to work properly. I am recreating this:

For the steering force i copied the code. Heres a side by side:

I am pretty new to blueprints so i dont know what the problem is here. When i plug the right vector in directly, then it shows the right vector correctly. Shouldn’t it just multiply the right vector by the desiredAccel ?

Here is what my arrow looks like:

Thanks!

Here’s the intuitive way, you pointed out:

That’s the result:

yeah for your debug arrow you do need to add it back to the world location on end,
but a force is just a direction/magnitude so it doesnt
