Top Down Character Movement

Hello everybody

Question is about how to properly implement movement for top down game.
I have movement of the character with WASD, but can’t understand how to make character to look where cursor is without changing vector of movement?

I have movement setup as PlayerMovementComponent with Mapping

void ADefaultCharacter::SetupPlayerInputComponent(UInputComponent *PlayerInputComponent) {
       Super::SetupPlayerInputComponent(PlayerInputComponent);
       PlayerInputComponent->BindAxis("MoveForward", this, &ADefaultCharacter::MoveForward);
       PlayerInputComponent->BindAxis("MoveRight", this, &ADefaultCharacter::MoveRight);
}

Character moves properly but model only looks forward.
When I try rotating character where mouse points

void ADefaultCharacter::Tick(float DeltaTime) {
  Super::Tick(DeltaTime);

  APlayerController *PC = UGameplayStatics::GetPlayerController(GetWorld(), 0);
  if (PC) {
    FHitResult ResultHit;
    PC->GetHitResultUnderCursor(ECC_GameTraceChannel1, true, ResultHit);
    auto FindRotatorResult = UKismetMathLibrary::FindLookAtRotation(GetActorLocation(), ResultHit.Location);
    SetActorRotation(FRotator(0.0f, FindRotatorResult.Yaw, FindRotatorResult.Roll));     
  }
}

and press “W” model starts moving to place where mouse is pointing.

Which is correct way to make character movement and view independent of each other?
