Hello,
i am trying to get the forward vector of a mesh that i can rotate. But the forward vector doesn’t change when the mesh does. i have seen other similar problems where the solution was to use the velocity but that didn’t work ether (or i implemented it wrong).
Hey @TH3_D0C!
Are you rotating the mesh without rotating the actor? Would you mind sharing your blueprints so far in regards to rotation so we can get a better idea of what may be going wrong?
Any additional specifics you provide may go a long way in solving your problem.
Hi, you are getting forward vector from your mesh but if your mesh is parented to a scene component or something else in your blueprint this may be the issue.
So get the vector from your scene root component or set your mesh as the root component

Seems you are adding 100.0 expecting it to offset in the direction. The correct way is to multiply the forward vector * 100.0.
Ok so i have a Sphere that i am adding a force to and then copying the location of the Car to the sphere.
Then i am taking the average of two line traces downwards to get the normal vector of the ground to adjust the rotation (Pitch).
For the Yaw i am rotating the Car with two inputs and then the sphere gets the force based on the direction.
As you pointed out, i think i am applying a rotation to the mesh.
How would i go about changing the actors rotation?
Ahh ok that fixed it. Now i sticks to the car. Thx!
