UGameplayStatics::RebaseZeroOriginOntoLocal

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.5

#include "Kismet/GameplayStatics.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Converts an absolute origin-based position (e.g. received over the network or deserialized) into a local world-space position relative to the current shifted origin. The inverse of RebaseLocalOriginOntoZero.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The naming is counterintuitive: the input 'WorldLocation' is an absolute zero-origin position, not a current local-space position.
• Must be applied after every world origin shift to remain accurate — a value rebased before a shift and used after it will have floating-point drift equal to the shift magnitude.
• Network-received positions should be rebased immediately on receipt before being passed to SetActorLocation or used in physics calculations.

Signature

static ENGINE_API FVector RebaseZeroOriginOntoLocal(UObject* WorldContextObject, FVector WorldLocation);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
WorldContextObject	UObject*	Any UObject within the world to provide world context.	—
WorldLocation	FVector	An absolute position expressed relative to the integer world origin (zero-based).	—

Return Type

FVector

Example

Apply a network-received position in a shifted world C++

// ReceivedPos is in absolute zero-origin space (sent by server)
FVector LocalPos = UGameplayStatics::RebaseZeroOriginOntoLocal(this, ReceivedPos);
RemoteActor->SetActorLocation(LocalPos);
