Focus and rotate and object you select

Greeting, I am searching to create a detective game where you can select and rotate an object on focus similar to the system in this youtube videohttps://youtube.com/watch?v=ZoqqPF9mPvY
I am sure there are tutorial out there but I did not find them, maybe because I don’t find the correct keyword. Either way if you could point me to a proper tutorial I would be very gratefull.

Thanks

There are a lot of different things going on to make this happen so I don’t think you’ll find a single tutorial on how to make all of this happen.

Here are some different pieces that should help you get started though:

Line tracing to figure out if the character is looking at an object of interest or not – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBmPxGHu3uo
Picking up the object and rotating it – my guess for how its done in the video is by using timelines to update an object’s transform based on the direction of the mouse movement – https://api.unrealengine.com/INT/Videos/PLZlv_N0_O1gZg3dTMetmsfm_s4lb4-Tg0/eXy0QfU_fLQ/index.html
Then grey out the background – third post down in this thread should help: Exceptions to Post process effects - Rendering - Unreal Engine Forums

Hope this helps!

thanks for the help, that being said I am not sure how to link the player input to the timeline nor does this video explain it. I even try to find information on the internet in this regard but found nothing about it.
