Portal Gun Tutorial Series - Creating the Portal Gun - Setting Portal Rotation | Part 3 UE4

Hey guys! In this part, I set up the portal shooting gun, which will shoot the Portals where the player is looking at. The line trace will be a bit off the HUD if the surface is too far away from the player, but it shouldn't matter too much if you make the player HUD bigger!

I also tell you how to ensure that when the Portal is spawned, it is spawned facing the rotation of the player! Sadly, the rotation of the Portal has to be pre-defined, so that means that you can only use "straight" walls, and not "slanted" or "tilted" walls, because later on in the series, when I tell you how to set the rotation of the player upon teleport to face forward, and how to retain player velocity on teleport, I'm only going to be setting the values based upon the forward vector of the portal. So if the forward vector is anything other than -1, 0, +1, the functions/code will not work!
