Hello. I’m new to unreal engine, specially to blueprints. I had a strange idea of making melee actor blueprint. I wanted my actor to be in front of the controlled pawn every frame. So, i made this blueprint: ![251192-bandicam-2018-08-20-19-54-41-842.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/4/1/74106049f0f1a722c39c1ed8ca0b33209e535317.jpeg) The rotation part of this blueprint works well, but actor stays at the same location, different from forward vector. Can you help me with this case? ---

Forward vector has a size of only 1 unreal unit. Setting relative location from that will not move very fast and might look like it is not moving at all. Need to multiply the forward vector by a value. You might call it ForwardSpeed.
