SONIC UNREAL but, I need some help!

1. Note I want objects that always face the camera. Does an average sprite do this? Is there a simple boolean, or do I have to program it to point towards the camera?

2. I kinda wish I could simply set the X, Y, and Z. This feels it would make programming in UE4 so much better… And such a thing may also be considered easy to code and more efficient. This is one of the reasons I like Scratch. Straightforward X and Y. In 3D there would be the third axis, Z. Then I would find Pitch, Yaw, and Roll. And scaling. That’s about it for positions! I know that C++ is a confusing language, but maybe I should check it out!

3. Let me make another “Bob & Alice” comparison. We have three developers, Joe, Tim, and Ted, no relations to Bob and Alice.
   Ted made a Sonic engine for UE4. The other two developers will use these in different ways.
   Joe adds the story, complete game-play, and levels of Sonic Adventure.
   Tim has new ideas and wants to make a game with new story, levels, features, enemies, objects, and all-around content. He makes something that feels like a completely new game.

Can you spot the difference?
P.S. Joe made a CLONE. He copied everything from Sonic Adventure.
Tim made a FAN-GAME. He used the characters and main story of the games’ history and made something completely new. Some fan-games don’t go this far, but they should add new content.

EDIT: I have decided I will try to make the models myself. I’ve decided that I want to take no assets from the original games. That is what I believe I will do.

Ted made a thing and cancelled it and took down the public assets. Perhaps because it was not a good idea ™, or he just had a change of heart.
Years later, Joe was known to collect call Tim from a Wisconsin State Penitentiary, but sadly Tim couldn’t pay for the collect call because he was too broke after the lawsuit.

Rip Tim and Joe.

P.S.

I’m still 100% behind the idea of “Tim and Joe the Faster-than-sound Platypus DUO: The Game: 1” and give you full rights to take my platypus idea and make it into a game.
The main antagonist could be “Ted The TakeDowner”, you know, because Ted took down the UE4 FTS Platypus Engine Mk1.

Real talk: you can make anything you want. If you make a Sonic game, you can’t sell it or put it on any public market for free because you do not own or have rights to the IP or the Sonic trademark. Go hog wild - we’re all excited to see what you make, just as with any other indie.
