FVector Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns FVector::UpVector (0,0,1) if the actor has no RootComponent.
- • For actors on slopes or with a non-identity rotation, this is not the same as world up. Use FVector::UpVector when you need absolute world-up.
Example
Apply thrust along actor up axis C++
MyMesh->AddForce(GetActorUpVector() * ThrustForce);Tags
