Hi Everyone

I’m trying to get my jet mesh to rotate toward my mouse correctly. I’ve got a simple blueprint set up to rotate the mesh toward the mouse which seems to work fine, but even when I rotate the mesh inside the actor, it doesn’t retain this rotation on play.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you using control rotation in the pawn? Then you’ll need to use
