I’m new to unreal engine and learning blueprint and basic stuff.
how can i rotate pawn using mouse .
what will be blueprint
Hey there @anonymous_user_dd7783e2! Welcome to the community! So it’ll vary pretty wildly depening on what type of character you have. If you’re working with a 3rd person or top down character, these 2 posts should get you started!
The blueprint:

I bet this is how it looked like back in the day when Tim & the Team were designing the blueprints system.

This is of third person movement using mouse…!
i’m looking for solution of rotation of pawn using mouse #programming-scripting:blueprint
The question is too generic and vague and has a dozen answers. We don’t know how you want to rotate. It can be as easy as ticking a single box:
Or as complicated as you want to make it. If you want a very specific behaviour, you’d need to disclose more details. We don’t even know if you’re working with a template or designing stuff from scratch!
For a completely blank pawn, it could look like so:

That’s actually just for rotation assuming you were just trying to look at the mouse, ideal for 3rd person or top down characters you want to always look at the mouse. If you’re trying to turn a 3rd person player like in @Everynone’s example, you can use that code or take a look at the 3rd person template project.
i’m trying to
as play begin , player drag the object and rotate the object using the mouse …
how that can be implemented in blueprint…
i have written c++ code for it…

These seem to be 2 different things you’re asking about. Is this what you’re trying to do - inspect an object? As in:

not to inspect an object.
first check the condition whether the mouse is press or not … then to select the object then as mouse changes its axis then same time the object rotate too…
want to implement this problem in blueprint
On Left click, get hit under cursor for objects, store reference, use the reference to add rotation using MouseX.
No. I’ll post an example in a bit.

See if you can get it to work this way; hope I got it right.
You can validate the get node like so, btw:
I appreciate your time and for help…
one more question .
does not here play role of event tick function?

Good question. MouseX polls every frame, just like Tick. If you ever create an AxisMapping, it will also work just like Tick - executing every frame:
If you scripted it like so:
The result would be identical but you’d need 5 nodes instead of 4. The horror! ;p

I’m showing a picture of how to do it above. Alternatively you could:
But then we’re up to 6 nodes!

Yes but when searching blueprints this will be easily readable on the “Find” panel while a validated getter does not.
