Hi, im trying to make a space shooter on android. I would like to be able to move the ship by tilting the phone to either side. Ive spent hours searching for tutorials articles or anything that mentions how to do this. Ive still not been able to find absoultely anything that mentions how to do this even though it seems like something that wouldnt be super hard.

So I was wondering is this even possible? If so what should I be looking into.

look up rotation rate and tilt this should help. here is an article that explains more Player camera Axis Mappings using tilt and rotation - Mobile - Unreal Engine Forums

With my experience, a portrait style game can only utilize the gravity input axis and landscape can utilize both gravity and tilt input axis. When adjusting your input on ue4, look for these two input axis options.
