APawn::AddControllerYawInput

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Pawn.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Adds yaw rotation to the owning PlayerController's ControlRotation, used to turn the camera or pawn left and right. Only affects local PlayerControllers.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The effective rotation change is Val * InputYawScale. InputYawScale defaults to 1.0, but players can change it via sensitivity settings. Do not pre-scale Val with a sensitivity multiplier or it will stack.
• If bUseControllerRotationYaw is false on the pawn, the pawn's actor rotation will not follow the controller rotation change — the camera will turn but the mesh will not.
