UGameplayStatics::GetWorldOriginLocation
#include "Kismet/GameplayStatics.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Returns the current world origin location as an integer vector in world space. Used when working with large open worlds that employ world origin shifting to keep floating-point coordinates near zero.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns an FIntVector in centimeters like all UE coordinates, but the integer type loses sub-centimeter precision — suitable for origin queries but not for precise per-frame math.
- • When world origin shifting is not enabled (the default for most projects), this always returns (0,0,0); do not rely on it being non-zero unless you explicitly call SetWorldOriginLocation.
- • After an origin shift, previously stored FVector world positions are stale and must be rebased using RebaseLocalOriginOntoZero or RebaseZeroOriginOntoLocal.
