Third person camera relative movement using controller rotation

Pattern: EnhancedInputAction IA_Move → GetControlRotation → MakeRotator(0, Yaw, 0) → GetForwardVector(YawRotation) = ForwardDir, GetRightVector(YawRotation) = RightDir. AddMovementInput(ForwardDir, InputY) + AddMovementInput(RightDir, InputX). SpringArm: UsePawnControlRotation=true. CharacterMovement: OrientRotationToMovement=true, bUseControllerDesiredRotation=false.

Spring Arm

A boom that holds a child component (usually a Camera) at a fixed offset, with collision-aware retraction. Standard for third-person cameras.

Less (float) — A < B

string

string

Add_FloatFloat — add two floats

Pin names A, B, ReturnValue.

OR Boolean — logical OR of two booleans

AND Boolean — logical AND of two booleans

Add_VectorVector — add two vectors

Rotator

A 3D rotation (Pitch, Yaw, Roll) in degrees. Combine with Vector for full positioning.

PlayMontage — play an AnimMontage on a SkeletalMeshComponent

Call on the SkeletalMeshComponent. Get it via GetMesh() on Character. Returns montage length. Exec out is 'then'.
