Hello, basically I’m creating a object grabbing system for my game, I had no idea how to do something like this so I’ve exactly replicate this blueprint on this video tutorial; https://www.youtube.com/embed/OltZ-xFz8IQ?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=WL Surprisingly everything worked and is working to this moment, but one thing that I need to be able to do is to rotate the grabbed object by pressing/holding a button, sadly he doesn’t show you how to do that. Here is my question; how would I do something like that? what nodes would I have to add? Thanks. 🙂 ---

Hi Sebapler Ok man, I recreate the Tesla Tutorial (Tesla´s Tuts are always amazing) to be easier for you to understand what I did. It is simple, actually After the video tutorial, just create the following Blueprint: ![73853-bp+to+rot+after+drag+it.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/6/e/3/6e3ec4134059177f003b15ed6f3b631a2a03bd9c.png) Put it after the Tick Event with the branch, it will take your mouse postion, create a rotation - 5000 (I needed to put this high amount to have a better looking when rotating the object, if you want the object to rotate slowly, just increase this number a lot, like 6000, 7000 and so on. Here is the result: [- YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMCq-7C6TbY) Hope you can succeed! Good Luck! ---

Hello, thank you for your help 🙂 Why doesn’t everything just work! 🙂 I’ve replicated your script (as shown) but it looks like something isn’t working, it’s probably me (messed something up again) for some reason when I press (alt) it doesn’t look the same as on your video, and I don’t know what this is causing , maybe you know the fix for this, and sometimes (most of the time) when I grab a object it just starts rotating without me pressing anything, sometimes slow, sometimes faster and sometimes when I press (alt) they also start rotating (very fast) I would really appreciate if you would help to fix this 🙂 Oh yeah and I’ve also created a short video this time 🙂 [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMBORXUuFow) ---

Oww, Hello!, I’ve left this for now (I’ve realized that is isn’t what I need) Now I need some help with creating a basic stamina system for example when running it takes away some % of the stamina, and when not running anymore it regenerates. Any ideas how to do so? ---

Oh yeah, I’ve seen this tutorial already, (I’ve learned a lot from it) to be honest that is the exactly same tutorial that I used to create my stamina bar. I also have a inventory (fully working) but I didn’t use this one, it’s a bit too basic, I’ve used a different tutorial for that (surprisingly, everything seems to work fine) I used this: https://www.youtube.com/embed/6xIPbU9WWeo?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=PL11wSpkPzF3RLLk-dgvC8gTKUjHkE9FtF I need a more advanced stamina system for example, when you run it takes away some percent of your stamina (from a bar, like in the tutorial) and when you stop running, it regenerates back to 100% It’s nice to be talking with you again 🙂 ---

run you mean sprint? Using the same turorial ,you can drag from your stamina logic and get the Stamina variable minus a float or integer value than set it to be new value To recover, you can create a logic from your Event tick. let´s supose that your stamina default value is 10. from the event tick, if the stamina value is less than 10, you get the stamina value add a float/integer value to it set the new value into the variable. Note that you have to create a timer to avoid the event tick update every frame, you can create a timer by 1 or 2 seconds, for example With that logic, the stamina will increase only if it is less than 10. You can also set the Stamina to 10, if it becomes more that 10 ---

hey FilipeTessaro I was looking into creating 2 different interactions - pickup / release when P key is pressed - rotate object when R key is hold And i ran into your solution ( looks like this solution is to tackle another scenario but I was hoping to replicate your blueprints at least ) However, I’m not 100% sure if I got the blueprints correctly. Can you help me out ( Tesla’s pickup/release part is already done and it works fine) Thanks !! ![79024-blueprint.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/8/d/8/8d827aef4d074e70e5b1368e321470205453650f.png) ---

that would be great !!! little things like this somehow help us (at least me) know more about blueprints so yeah please do 🙂 ps: also, what do you think about having 2 different buttons to handle Rotate Or Move… the events still need to be linked to the same Event Tick do they? ---

I will upload it for you. PSS: Yes, it has, because the position and rotation need to be updated everytime, if not, it will have a stuttering effect. I will upload and post the link here very soon ---
