Hey guys, been following this particular tutorial ( Your First Game In Unreal Engine 5 | Tutorial ), and I have run up against an issue at around the 44 minute mark in the video, where the objective is to [Orient Player Direction to Control].

No matter how many times I have checked, unchecked, et al the ‘Orient Rotation to Movement’, increased the rotation speed, it will NOT rotate the camera when I am attempting this. If I move the mouse to the left or right, it will slightly snap the camera a bit in that direction but ultimately, it will not rotate at all.

I am this far into the video, and using Unreal Engine 5.6.1 - is there perhaps something that could be inconsistent between this demo, and the version I am running? I’m disappointed because I have made it this far, and hoping someone may have a helpful solution here.

UPDATE - I did find a way around this. I was missing the ‘USE CONTROLLER ROTATION YAW"‘ check/uncheck box in the BP_Bot hierarchy, on the BP_Bot (Self). I was too focused on the MESH, CAMERA, SPRING ARM, and completely ignored the fact that the root character itself had a Details panel.

Obviously a user issue, and one that I am happy to have overcome, and am able to share the unfortunate results with you.
