1.) As previously stated, I’m using root motion. This is important because the answers that solve similar questions like this one answer it using some sort of velocity mechanic.
2.) What I am trying to go for is rotating the character based off of the forward facing value of the camera, and not the character moving the camera. In other words, I have the setting “Use Controller Rotation Yaw” to off and “Use Pawn Control Rotation” and “Orient Rotation to Movement” both to on. I’m doing this because I am using an AimOffSet to move the character’s head. So instead of the character rotating the camera left and right but moving the head up and down, he is able to turn his head to “look” left, right, up, and down.
3.) I’m aware that I need to use the camera’s forward vector, but, after breaking it, I don’t know how to mix it with the axis values of my movement inputs. The examples that I’ve seen use a velocity mechanic and send the info into a “Add Movement Input” node, which is something I can not do (at least to the best of my knowledge).
4.) My Blueprint is very simple so far. It’s just the moveforward input’s axis value setting a float. Here’s a pic
