How do I make the character face the direction it's moving?

In the game I’m making the camera is attached to the player at a top down angle, the player moves directly up, down left or right. I’m trying to make the player rotate to face the direction hes going, relative to his velocity.

I am extremely new to UE4 (started 3 days ago) and am still getting used to everything, if there are any functions that I’m missing Id appreciate some advice.

Thank you in advance

In your character BP, there is an option called “Orient Rotation to Movement” inside the details panel of the “Character Movement” component, under Character Movement (Rotation Settings).

Brilliant thank you! it didn’t work straight away but after a bit of research I found this thread: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/499502/orient-rotation-to-movement-doesnt-work.html

Just in case other people are having the same problem
