Point a spot light 90 degrees to the direction of travel

Unread postby mikeadams2k » Fri Apr 10, 2020 4:56 pm

I can point a 'spot light' forward or reverse, using the blueprint matrix, but I can't get it to face perpendicular. Can anyone 'point' me in the right direction? Thanks.

You should find some pointers in this tutorial.

An online matrix calculator like this will come in handy I suspect

Hope this helps.
