So I want a UMG image to rotate to where my analog stick is facing. I’ve probably gone completely off the track but I can’t get it to fully work, this setup kind of works but not fully.
You can do this by using arctangent.
In your case Tan A = Y/X, so A = Atan (Y/X).
Im not sure about negative values, maybe you need to use some switch for
’ +x +y
’ -x +y
’ +x -y
’ -x -y
feed in your direction vector to a “make rot from x” node and use that rotation to drive it, (you might hafto offset the rot depending on your setup), I haven checked the documentation but I imagine it does the same thing as the previous answer suggested, only more compressed.
So, you need to simply subtract 90 from it )
I subtracted 90 and it still half works up now points up and down points down but left and right are opposites.
Multiply on -1
I’ve not setup a way of detecting if it’s a minus, as well as if i did i would have to setup 1 for each minus value
There is a specific node called “make rot from x” that outputs a rotation node it would do what your need it to, (it also needs a direction vector input, so combine the x and y from your stick into a vector node, make z 0, then feed that into the “x” of make rot from x node, Im at work atm but I can make a graph for you when I get home If you need it.
UMG rotation is simple scalar, not rotator.
you can break a rotator node to get x, y and z.
this tutorial does a simple rundown of what Im talking about and implements one type of solution.
