UKismetMathLibrary::Conv_Vector4ToVector

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Converts a Vector4 to a 3-component FVector by dropping the W element. Tagged BlueprintAutocast so Blueprint automatically inserts a conversion node when you wire a Vector4 pin to a Vector pin.

Caveats & Gotchas

• W is silently discarded. If W carries meaningful data — homogeneous coordinate divide, alpha, or clip-space depth — handle that before calling this function.
• No normalization is applied; the result length equals the XYZ magnitude of the input Vector4, which may not be 1 even if the input appeared to be a unit direction.

Signature

static UE_INL_API FVector Conv_Vector4ToVector(const FVector4& InVector4);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
InVector4	FVector4	The source Vector4.	—

Return Type

FVector

Example

Extract the XYZ world position from a homogeneous Vector4 C++

FVector4 HomogPos(400.0, 300.0, 100.0, 1.0); // W=1: no perspective divide needed
FVector WorldPos = UKismetMathLibrary::Conv_Vector4ToVector(HomogPos);
SetActorLocation(WorldPos);
