Hi,i’m trying to rotate an actor around itself (the head of this machine)，bu it seem that it rotate around an axis in the world，how can i fix this ？  
my code：  
bmHead-\>RotateWXYZ(10, 1, 0, 0);|  
bmHead-\>SetPosition( -this-\>TimerCount \* 50, 0, 0);|

tbmBody-\>SetPosition( -this-\>TimerCount \* 50, 0, 0);|
