Multiple character rotation issues

[tlsduf]

1. I want to maintain the character's rotation when moving forward towards a wall. Currently, the character rotates to the side when moving towards a wall...

2. In the air, the character rotates to face the direction the camera is looking at. I want to stop this behavior.

3. When using
   SetActorRotation((-1 * GetActorForwardVector()).Rotation());
   the character is momentarily set to the opposite direction and then returns to the original direction. I want to fix this.**

For 1 and 2, check out settings in the CS_Als_Default:

For 3, that should be caused by AAlsCharacter::RefreshGroundedRotation, looks like you need a custom rotation mode. (search SetActorRotation in AlsCharacter.cpp for more details)

Could you upload video here, I don't want to login YT.

In VelocityDirection mode, actor rotation is oriented to "movement" by default, which make sense.
So, IMO, you should find a way to not change velocity(such as skipping SlideAlongSurface in MovementComponent which sounds like a bad idea😂) when nearing a wall.

When I move close to the wall and face it directly, the character rotates to the side.

You could try to override UCharacterMovementComponent::SlideAlongSurface to do nothing.
It's called from UCharacterMovementComponent::MoveAlongFloor.

Or consider overrding UMovementComponent::ComputeSlideVector

oh thanks! i'll try this.
