I have the player grab and move items within the level. When an item is clicked and the click is held, I want the actor to move forward for a few units (-15 in the X axis) and then move to the position of the player’s dummy held object which is a hidden static mesh component inside the first person character.
The second part is easier to do because it just involves two world locations and moving from A to B. But the first part of the move is what I am having a hard time with the -15 in the X axis. I can do it by moving the static mesh of the actor, but I want the whole actor to move, not just the static mesh. Many combinations of relative and world rotations didn’t work, that’s where the problem is. My item may have its X axis rotated to where the world Y axis is, but it always ends up moving on the world’s Y instead of local X.
I want this to happen whatever the rotation of an item is, and since I will have many items in the level, I need something that works in any possible rotation AND moves the whole actor instead of just the static mesh. Any ideas?
