[ut2004] Are there inbuilt functions to actually turn left and right?

[Parser]

I'm just mucking about with some code here, and as you know UT2004's method of "turning" involves rotating the camera's view axis left and right. What I'd like to know is if there are any stock functions I can use to make the player turn left and right properly like in a platform game.

For example, in Tomb Raider Legend, you can move the camera freely while the directional keys move the player separately. What I'm trying to achieve is the same effect using the Playercontroller's behindview and freecamera features, but currently the directional keys for Left/Right rotate the camera and not the player. I'd imagine it would be perfectly possible to code in functions to rotate the player as needed, but I was wondering if there was anything native that could do the job better.

Cheers!

I guess you need to look at how the camera is caused to rotate when turning the character with behindview 1 and freecamera 0 and override that in the subclass to rotate only character.

Take a look at UpdateRotation() in the PlayerController:

            ViewRotation.Yaw += 32.0 * DeltaTime * aTurn;
            ViewRotation.Pitch += 32.0 * DeltaTime * aLookUp;

ATurn and aLookUp are the variables that have input from the mouse or keyboard to turn the player around.
