AActor::K2_GetActorLocation

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"

Access: public Specifiers: constUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Returns the world-space location of the actor's RootComponent. This is the Blueprint-exposed version of GetActorLocation, surfaced as 'Get Actor Location' in Blueprint graphs.

Caveats & Gotchas

• In C++, prefer calling GetActorLocation() directly — K2_GetActorLocation is an inline wrapper that calls it, but naming clarity is better with the non-K2 variant in native code.
• Returns FVector::ZeroVector if the actor has no RootComponent; this is indistinguishable from a valid world-origin position, so check for a valid root component if this matters.

Get actor location in C++ C++

// Typically called via the non-K2 alias in C++:
FVector Loc = GetActorLocation();
// K2_GetActorLocation is the underlying implementation:
FVector Loc2 = K2_GetActorLocation(); // identical result
