My car keeps moving sideways instead of forwards..

Hi guys,

So I’m trying to create a time-trial type game, and I’m developing the vehicle for it. However, I’m having trouble getting the rig to work properly.

I have set the rig up so that the collision is fixed, and it should be able to move. However, when I attempt to move forwards using W, the vehicle moves right. When I attempt to move backwards, the vehicle moves left. If I attempt to move left or right, it doesn’t tend to work properly.

I have been trying to fix this for two weeks and now I’m finally coming here because I just don’t know what is wrong with this thing. Attached are some screenshots of my rig. If you need more please let me know.

Your car model is imported sideways. X axis in UE4 is “Forward” and Y axis is “Right”, your car’s nose is looking to the “left” along the Y axis, while it should be along the X axis.
