UKismetMathLibrary::Conv_VectorToTransform

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Creates an FTransform with the given location, identity rotation, and uniform scale of 1. Useful when you only need to encode a position as a full transform.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Rotation is set to FQuat::Identity and scale to FVector(1,1,1). If you need non-identity rotation or scale, construct FTransform(Rotation, Location, Scale) directly.
• This is a BlueprintAutocast node — Blueprint silently inserts it when a Vector pin connects to a Transform input. This implicit conversion discards any rotation you may have intended to carry along.

Signature

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
InLocation	FVector	The location to use as the translation component of the resulting transform.	—

Return Type

FTransform

Example

Use a patrol path point as a full spawn transform C++

FVector SpawnPoint = PatrolPath[CurrentIndex];
FTransform SpawnTransform = UKismetMathLibrary::Conv_VectorToTransform(SpawnPoint);
GetWorld()->SpawnActorDeferred<AEnemy>(AEnemy::StaticClass(), SpawnTransform);
