Rotate camera around a specific point

Hello,

I want to move around a point (0,0,0) and always look at it.

This is what i actually have:

void ATowerBrickCharacter::MoveCharacterLeftRight(float Value)
{
	if ((Controller != NULL) && (Value != 0.0f))
	{
		CharacterRotation = fmod(CharacterRotation, 360.0f) + Value;

		FVector CharacterPosition;
		CharacterPosition.X = (sinf(CharacterRotation)*CharacterDistanceRadius); //like the transformation of polarcoordinates to cartesian
		CharacterPosition.Y = (cos(CharacterRotation)*CharacterDistanceRadius);
		CharacterPosition.Z = 10;
		SetActorLocation(CharacterPosition);

		FRotator Rotation = GetActorRotation();
		Rotation.Yaw = CharacterRotation;
		SetActorRotation(Rotation);
	}
}

The movement around the point works :).

But my camera doesn’t look at the point(0,0,0). It is just static and have always the same fov-direction.

So I would guess, that my character rotates (that does not have a graphical model), but the camera doesn’t.
Does someone have an idea how to get it work.
It would make me realy happy :slight_smile:
