Custom Character Movement Troubles

[GX_WildFire]

When I play in editor with the custom character and I press the move right and left keys, D and A respectively, the character moves right and left… when facing north (default position in PIE). However, say I turn the character 90 degrees and try to move right or left the character moves in a different direction up, down. etc. I think this might be an issue with my code as I am relatively new to C++ although I have worked in C# before. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (First image is the .h file, the rest .cpp files)

Almost. In the MoveRight function, the pitchRotation should be yawRotation as well. Here’s what I used for a third person character.

void AHSurvivor::MoveForward(const float Value)
{
     if (Value != 0.0f)
     {
          const FRotator ControlRotation = GetControlRotation();
          const FRotator YawRotation = FRotator(0.0f, ControlRotation.Yaw, 0.0f);
          
          // Get forward direction based on the yaw rotation
          const FVector MoveDirection = FRotationMatrix(YawRotation).GetUnitAxis(EAxis::X);

          AddMovementInput(MoveDirection, Value);
     }
}

void AHSurvivor::MoveRight(const float Value)
{
     if (Value != 0.0f)
     {
          const FRotator ControlRotation = GetControlRotation();
          const FRotator YawRotation = FRotator(0.0f, ControlRotation.Yaw, 0.0f);
          
          // Get right direction based on the yaw rotation
          const FVector MoveDirection = FRotationMatrix(YawRotation).GetUnitAxis(EAxis::Y);
          
          AddMovementInput(MoveDirection, Value);
     }
}

Thanks a lot, I’ll try this now

Edit: Thanks a lot this really helped
