The player (kinematic body) doesn't want to rotate horizantally along with the camera

Hello! When I imported a 3d model from Blender, in .obj format, as a simple mesh for the existing player, the horizontal rotation of the camera and the player movement were well syncronized.

Now, when I imported the player in GLTF format, I have a little trouble with this syncronization. At first, when I was rotating the camera, the camera was revolving around the player. Then I decided to attach the camera to the head bone, in order to synchronize the horizontal rotation of the camera and the player.

I assigned a "BoneAttachment" node to the head of my human-shaped player. Then, I attached the camera to the BoneAttachment node, as its child.

While the camera is moving well, the player is not moving at all.

How could I make the player to rotate along with camera?

Here is the Player node hierarchy:

And here is the code that responds for camera rotation:

BoneAttachement nodes override the transform with the global pose of the bone its attached to, which will override any rotation you apply to it. I would suggest making a child Spatial node under the BoneAttachment node and then parent the Camera to that. Then you can rotate the Spatial node freely, and because it is a child of the BoneAttachement node, it will stay aligned with the bone.

Thank you for the suggestion!

I created a child Spatial node under BoneAttachment node, parented the Camera to it, and this solved the problem. :)

P.S.: Regarding the camera movement code, the line 306 is unnecessary - it makes the camera to rotate once againg, it basically doubles the needed rotation, and thus, the camera movement rotates twice faster than the player.
