thank you so much for this - i followed your tutorial and got stuck at that point so this cleared it up easily. I have FINALLY got my own little character meandering round a sandbox :D

Whoah. Thanks a lot! Been stuck on another tutorial before I looked in the comment section and found the link to this lesson. Thank you!

[dawnrigel]

Really appreciate you going over the update lol. I was trying to wing it for myself, and it was nice to have something to check my work with!

Thank you! Had been using control rotation this whole time and was wondering why my blendspaces were wonky!!

[Nernage]

[jello]

Make sure you use the old direction variable from the previous video

I don't know if I've said this before, but you sir are a fucking legend!

[mraayanyt]

Thank you so much bro you save my game

[chickishot]

Is there a way to use this to rotate the character and align it to the gravity direction? I imagine you might need an event tick possibly.

hey, if i want to jump, it takes the run animation, i followed you along the tutorial

[KuroTheDesigner]

I didn't see your previous video so I was pretty lost on what this node is supposed to do

[tonybush]

How did you change the variable name to "Direction"?

[comatoseenigma]

Hi matt, your videos are great, I have a question tho, so you promoted to variable and named it "direction", however, direction is already a variable made so can i reference that or would i have to make a new direction variable.

Sorry very new to UE4 just wondering if you can help me with a game design feature in BP. I want to set my character to go a certain direction aswell as a fixed speed that can not be key pressed or slowdown by the player. So a forced "set speed" to lets say to the right direction, how do I do that? LoL I am still learning and its very fascinating to see all the possibility's with UE4 BP

[zylerlewis]

How come when I try to connect the calculation direction to the set it doesn't connect and says there's a problem and it's not compatible

[Nelsonyw]

i dont even see the calculate direction variable?? when i search it up nothing shows up. can you help me please. im using unreal engine 4.27 i believe
