Unreal Game Engine – Blueprints – Mesh Rotator
1. LEFT COLUMN> Content Browser> RMB over a Mesh (example Floor_400x400)> Create Blueprint Using…> select your ‘Blueprints’ folder> give it the name (example Floor_400x400_Blueprint)
2. Blueprint window> TOP RIGHT> Components> WHELL MOUSE BUTTON to zoom in/out

17. Play
For italian people: come funziona?
1. Timeline invia i valori di Rotator ad ogni fotogramma alla funzione Set Relative Rotation
2. Set Relative Rotation invia i dati di rotazione a Static Mesh 1
NOTA BENE: la traccia Rotator deve essere prima separata con Break Vector, poi assegnata con Make Rot a New Rotation
