Check that the ā€œuse controller rotationā€ settings are NOT checked, like in here.

Thank the lord for this thread. Eventhough I have used this method several times before, I keep forgetting this one step and this time it only took me 30 minutes to find this thread again lol. Thanks again!

Still helpful in 4.25

Thanks! I never expected this little tip would be so useful for so longā€¦

Mine still doesnā€™t rotate for some reason, any advice? Remember I got the ā€œUse Controller Rotationā€ options Un-checked.

Iā€™m in UE5 and this tip is still a lifesaver! Thank you!

following the UE5 tutorial Your First Game In Unreal Engine 5 | Tutorial and this solved the broken rotation i got when i followed the instructions (unless i overlooked it in the tut). Thanks!

Thanks a lot

thank you, I meet the seem problem

Glad to help! Thx for commenting.

Epic have a history of this. Tutorials that hit dead ends because they missed important steps.

Yep - needed it to get thru the tutorial. I guess learning to search the forums when things dont work is part of the learning lol.

Yep, as of Unreal 5.1 2023 this still works! Thanks for the help!
