UCharacterMovementComponent::GetGravityDirection
#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns the current normalized gravity direction used by the movement simulation.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Defaults to DefaultGravityDirection (straight down) until SetGravityDirection() has been called at least once.
- • This is a direction, not a magnitude — pair it with GetGravityZ() if you need the actual gravity strength.
