Controlling a crane with button inputs (Up, Down, Right, Left)

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

I have a simple crane model I want to be able to control. I’ve used Control Rig to set it up and can use the controls to create animations. So the rig itself works.

Basically, what I would like to achieve is to rise and lower the crane boom. And rotating it to the left or the right direction using keys inputs. Pressing the Up, Down, Right and Left buttons would be sufficient enough for now.

I’m obviously quite new to Unreal at this point, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Guides and tutorials recommendations to point me in the right directions would also be very helpful.
