Rotate character horizontally? (while flying forward with jetpack)

[SandMouseAnarchy]

I'm looking at making the player rotate more horizontally (in third person) when going forward using the jetpack, does anyone know a way to do this?

I think you would need to make an animation for that, and then make the player play it. actually rotating will be probably impossible.

Damn, I'll have to look into that then :) thanks for the reply mate :)

Howabout stop frame type firing a loop of setangle Z +=1 on the player. See what hapens.

[SandMouseAnarchy]

Perfect ^.^ I'll try that out as soon as possible, something like setangle Z is exactly the kind of solution I was hoping for.

Thanks SKK50!

I'm pretty sure Z is the vertical axis. wait. how exactly do you want to rotate character?

[SandMouseAnarchy]

Pra - I want the character to be rotated horizontally so the character is facing down (in third person) (like superman or like swimming) :)

[pra]

so yes, I understood your correctly. you would then need the X or Y achsis.

but I doubt this even works on actors...

[SandMouseAnarchy]

Well, thanks Pra :)

Setangle works on actors fine, I use it a lot to ensure spawns face the player.

ThisActorREF.SetAngle(ThisActorREF.GetAngleX(), ThisActorREF.GetAngleY(), (ThisActorREF.GetAngleZ() + fHeading) ) ; hostile faces player

Question is does it work on the PLAYER ? You'll need to test that in your view context.

 

For superman flight your looking at the Pitch axis which is X.
