Turn based strategy on a cube! How to properly rotate actor?

[beanswaggle]

@Orkney

When you place the character in the correct place above the surface, Fire a LineTrace towards the cube, get the hit location of the hit on the cube surface.

use FindLookAtRotation from the centre of your character to the location supplied from the Line Trace.

Failing that get the Hit Normal of the line trace and use that instead.

This would not need to be hardcoded and would work on surfaces that were not 90 degree

ok so ive got the look at rotation from the location my character would be to the hit location. its not exactly working…

im still not entirely sure what you are wanting me to do withe the normal you mentioned. i tried to figure out how i could use the rotation from the normal but never could get anytthing to work.

the following is my current blueprint for getting the new rotation. (marker is where the character center location would be.)

I might honestly need a “explain it like i’m 5” short course from someone who understands vectors and rotations better than I do. @Orkney @SkeetonYu
