How do i get my pawn to move forward?

No worries, thanks for your reply!
I followed your advice and printed the control rotation. stayed at 0 always.
what i forgot to mention is that i’m working in VR with a vive. maybe that has something to do with it.

anyway i figured it out yet. i locked the camera of my pawn to the hmd and got the rotation from the camera, see attached picture.
i had to do it this way because the “Get Orientation and Direction” function for HMDs wasn’t working. when i used that i got weird movement during playing when i looked around. but thats an other story.

thank you for your help! it now works as intended
