How do I make a camera rotate around the player with arrow keys? (for unreal engine 5.1)

[Brosppa]

I want to set it up so that instead of using the mouse to control the camera, I can use the arrow keys on the keyboard to rotate the camera around the player.

I’m very new to Unreal Engine; i’d love any help!

This works splendidly!

I had a two more questions:

1. How can I change the camera’s rotation speed when using the arrow keys?

2. How can I make it so the camera can rotate freely around the player without changing the player’s direction?

Thank you for the help!
