FVector Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns FVector::RightVector (0,1,0) if the actor has no RootComponent.
- • In UE's coordinate system, the right vector is the +Y axis. Strafe movement should use this, not a hardcoded (0,1,0).
Example
Strafe movement C++
AddMovementInput(GetActorRightVector(), AxisValue);Tags
