How do make player face forwards where the follow camera is looking? 3rd person shooter

[ClockworkOcean]

I’m making a shooter and I want the player character mesh (not bothered about blending just yet) to simply face the direction the camera is facing.

I have already set up a recticle on screen as well as made a projectile spawn point in front of the player. Left button is shoot, right button is to aim. Currently the right button makes the recticle appear.

How do I make the player face forwards when I right click?

If you want the player to face the same direction as the camera, you need to copy the Z rotation of the camera into the player controller.

So, in your player, you have a reference to the camera, get the forward vector and split it so you access only the Z.

Then use the SetControlRotation node to change the player Z rotation.

( You can do a GetControlRotation to get the current player rotation, again split it, keep the X and Y and only set the Z ).

Sorry, not at a machine right now, this is about as specific as I can be…
