How to rotate component via c++

Hello,

I have got spring arm on character and I want it rotate via c++. I’m creating this in constructor:

SpringArm = CreateDefaultSubobject<USpringArmComponent>(TEXT("SpringArm"));
	SpringArm->SetupAttachment(RootComponent);
	SpringArm->TargetArmLength = 700.f;
	SpringArm->AddLocalRotation(FRotator(0, -45.f, 0));
	SpringArm->bUsePawnControlRotation = true;

Using AddLocalRotation() method, but this not rotate.

Where is the problem of rotating? It should work…

Hi, there! DesiredRotation depends on flags

bUsePawnControlRotation
bInheritPitch
bInheritYaw
bInheritRoll

Also on Component Rotation mode - Relative or Absolute.
You can take a look at implementation (https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/2bf1a5b83a7076a0fd275887b373f8ec9e99d431/Engine/Source/Runtime/Engine/Private/GameFramework/SpringArmComponent.cpp#L50)
