I can’t believe I am struggling with something so simple. My Actor BP is “Moveable”, and my blueprint looks like this:

No rotation. Any help?

Thanks!

You have a Custom blueprint with this nodes inside,  
If your “rotationspeed” is 0 , will not rotate,  
if is 1, will rotate very slowly  
be sure that is not rotating using rotationspeed=11 or so

Blueprint Actors dont have mobility i think ,  
if you see static-stationary-movable, you may not be selecting the Blueprint you made

I discovered that when i put my blueprint in the level (the spinning thing) it was not set to movable. It was static. In the blueprint, it is movable, but for some reason I have to select that manually once place in the level.
