UCharacterMovementComponent::GetGravityZ
#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: virtualconstoverride
Description
Returns the effective world gravity's Z component scaled by this component's GravityScale.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Multiplies UMovementComponent::GetGravityZ() (which reads world/PhysicsVolume gravity) by GravityScale, so setting GravityScale to 0 disables gravity for this component without touching world gravity.
- • Negative values are the norm — base gravity points down, so a GravityScale greater than 1 makes gravity stronger, not reversed.
