Player rotation control
Let us now put the necessary software to make the character rotate in the opposite direction in the event of movement to the left (pressing the A button), and to do that, we must return to the point (MovingRightLeft) and make some adjustments
1- We have to create a variable (variable) and name it (moveright)
That variable is of type boolean, it gives only two values, either true or false, we created it in order to save the value that will make the character go right in the program, and this enables us to call this variable whenever we want to.
2- We have to create a greater point (greater) than 0
If the input value is MovingRightLeft is greater than zero it means it will move to the right and if it is less than zero it means it will move to the left
3- We have to create a point (branch)
branch is one of the conditions of the condition i.e. it returns either true or false value
4- We now have to withdraw the variable that we created a while ago, which is called (moveright)
When we drag the variable, we must click on (set), because we want to know the variable and save it
The value of moveright is now saved if the value of the entry (MovingRightLeft) is greater than 0 and the condition is true and all of that is saved in the variable (moveright)
5- We have to create a point (less) less than 0
If the input value is MovingRightLeft is less than zero, it will move to the left
6- We have to create another branch point, exit from the first branch, and put the moveright variable again
The value of moveright is now preserved so that if the value of the input (MovingRightLeft) is less than 0 and the condition is false, the character will not go right, but will go left
7- We connect them all at the point add movement input so that the character can move
After defining the moveright variable and creating the software needed to make the character move left and right if the conditions are met, now we are ready to put the software needed to make the character rotate in the opposite direction if he moves left
1- We have to withdraw the character movement from the component list
2-We get a speed Character movement by typing in the search box (get velocity)
We only want to make the character move left or right, that is, in the X axis only
3- Therefore, we have to click the left mouse button on velocity and then press split struct pin so that we can divide the character's speed on all axes
4- Write in the search box compare float
The compare float compares the velocity values with the value zero
5- Get the point (get controller)
6- Get the point is valid to make sure that the control is correct
7- We extract from (get controller) the point (set control rotation) Let's set the character's spin level if the speed value is greater than 0
8- We extract from within the point (set control rotation) in the (new rotation) a new point with a name
(make rotator)
After we define the new axis, if the speed value is greater than 0, then all axes in the make rotator must be equal to 0, and the reason for this is because: the level of rotation will not change if going to the right, as in the picture
9- Copy everything related to the rotation and link it to compare float if the number is less than 0
10- We make the rotation axis Z if the speed value is less than zero (180 degrees).
11- We call the moveright variable again and associate it with branch if the speed of the variable is 0 and if it is true then it will go to the right and if it is false it will go to the left, it becomes as in the picture
12- We associate everything we did with an event tick so that all those programs get when the game starts.
13- We will face a problem, which is that the character will always start facing the left side, and to solve it, we have to make the moveright variable always work at the beginning of the game by pressing it and making the value always active
13- Go to the spring arm option and set the rotation level from relative to world
The reason we put the axis of movement to the world is because at the point (add movement input) the movement is affected by the world and not by the character
I hope the explanation is clear and thank you for your kind reading
