The character is controlled via a playercontroller that handles all input.
The camera is rotated in a iso/top down way that it looks down on the character.
The character should move with WASD. If i for example press W the character should move forward based on the cameras direction while rotating into that direction so he faces it. Basically W = towards the top of the screen, D = towards the right side of the screen. My character however just runs in circles on the same location.
I assume you’re using the Actor Forward/Right Vector to move the player.
You should instead grab the control rotation and from there on get the Right / Forward Vector.
The reason being ,the control rotation is the actual rotation that you’re looking at.
Whereas the Actor Forward/Right Vector is just a vector representing the direction the character itself is rotated at.
Now atleast he keeps walking a straight line, the problem is he keeps moving into the red arrow direction if i press W, but i want him to go the green arrow direction, do i have to do a tick function and update the control rotation constantly? for example i can rotate the camera view with MMB + Mouse X.
Make sure that your camera / spring arm uses control rotation and your camera inputs call “AddControllerPitchInput/AddControllerYawInput” (if you’re doing this inside the player controller, the functions are called “AddPitchInput/AddYawInput”)
It’s important that you inject your camera inputs into the control rotation, otherwise your pawn won’t move into the direction the camera is facing.
