Thanks so much for checking back in—it really means a lot!
I wanted to share an update on my progress. I ended up finding a solution that worked for me: I reset the player’s controller first and then rotated the controller to the desired rotation. It might not be the most ideal or elegant solution, but it did the trick for now!
I’m still learning and figuring things out as I go, so your original advice was incredibly helpful in guiding me. Thank you again for taking the time to help, it really made a difference!
Looking forward to learning even more from this awesome community.
