How can I make my character move a bit forward when they attack?

I’m using the side scroll template, and I’ve added some attack inputs and animations, now I want the character to move a bit forward whenever the attack input is pressed. How can I do that?

You could “Add Impulse” in the direction the pawn is facing which could scale with the force of the attack.
or adjust the transform if you want precise position change.

Awesome, thank you.
