I honestly can’t thank you enough. Just came back to this after a very busy period at work. Your suggestion of creating a new pawn was exactly what I needed to do. I’d been so bound to the First Person Character I hadn’t realised it would be confining the movement. Weeks of banging my head against the wall for such a simple solution. THANK YOU!
Now I just need to get my planet gravity system working again… Wish me luck!
