I’m trying to create a top down shooter for mobile with a single joystick for both movement and rotation. I’ve managed to get the player to move but I’m not sure how to make them rotate when using the same joystick. Can anyone help?
In your Characters Default Tab, try searching for this in the Character Movement Section:

If this doesn’t help, i will have a look at it later the day. (:
The character rotates but faces the same direction while doing so.
The top image shows the component screen of the player character. The bottom one shows the Blueprint I have so far to make the character move.
In Project settings > Engine Input. I’ve changed the Default Touch Interface in the mobile tab to LeftVirtualJoystickOnly. The axis mapping is Up/Down - Gamepad Left X = 1. Left/Right - Gamepad Left Y = -1.
Ok, so this option does not fix it for you?
Whould you mind telling me some short steps on how to recreate your setup, so i can look what you have done and how to add the rotation to it? Because the First Person Project already got this movement you look for. Can’t be that hard to implement this into the Top Down Shooter (:
Blueprint Pictures of what you already setup and tried would be nice too.
Am i right that this is the Top Down Template?
Hm, i took the Top Down Template and added these Input (these are for a normal Gamepad, but that isn’t important)
Both a positive scale at my end

And inside the controller i disconneted the click movement and added the movement you did:

With this i am able to move my character with the left Stick and he is also turning to the direction he is running to.
Have you changed something else?
Please make sure that you enabled this option in the character movement default settings: (Red square)
The top down is based on a PAWN in 4.8,1? Not a character? How would I get this to work then? I would like to have the left thumb stick for the movement (trust) and rotation so while moving the left stick it should go the way the stick is pointing at.
