I’m trying to make a flashlight where the user can adjust the height of the flashlight by pressing the “+” or “-” key, but I’m a little stuck. I followed this video for making the flashlight.

This is the blue print for the flashlight.

This is my attempt at trying to get the flashlight height adjustments. Whenever the “+” or “-” key is pressed, the light disappears and does not come back. I’ve tried both SetWorldLocation, and SetWorldTransform, but the problem is still there. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Instead of using world space try using local space or better yet the add offset node would work well in this case. It also depends on how the flashlight is made and attached to the character. I dont have time to watch the video right now but ill try to look into it more later
