I want to have my character’s position output onto a text file every 100 ms and was wondering how to go about doing that? I am pretty new to UE4 and I’m not sure if I could grab this kind of data just through BP or if I would have to code it in C++. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance. ---
