Hello. I want to rotate my object in place by class blueprint. I made this, but its doesn’t working. I forget about something? ![72158-turning+forever+coin.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/8/f/98f0660460c612f4de65f1bd479c4b0812ad0f86.png) ---

Try to add a rotation about 5 without any other value. Are you sure that yor blueprint have a shape that you can see rotate? Like a cube? Is you blueprint active? Let me know if you use a print node if you can see it ---

No, i don’t use a shape or cube. I thought that the script itself is sufficient. ---

Hello V4nder, This may end up causing some weird behavior once the value gets to a particular point. I would suggest using a Rotating Movement Component instead of trying to set it up manually. ---

What is this node “DRAW VECTOR FORWARD” ? ---

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘before blueprint’. You should be able to add the rotating movement component as part of the blueprint’s components and it’ll apply a constant rotation to the entire blueprint. ---

Ok, i did it. However rotate too fast .How can I reduce the speed ? ---

Its a collapsed graph, inside there is “draw debug line” with for start, “get actor location” for the start , i pin in the “actor world location” and for end i take the actor location +“Get actor forward” multiplied for 100. This way i draw a line from the center of the actor to forward. and i can see if he turn or not. even if there are no mesh or visible thing. ---

Select the Rotating Movement Component and then look at the details panel. There are values for Yaw, Pitch, and Roll. The lower the number, the slower it’ll rotate. ---
