UKismetMathLibrary::DegCos
#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns the cosine of A where A is in degrees. Equivalent to Cos(DegreesToRadians(A)) but avoids the manual conversion step.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Prefer this over Cos when your angle is stored in degrees (e.g. from a UPROPERTY or designer variable) — it removes the conversion step that is easy to forget.
- • In Blueprint the compact node title is 'COSd'; the plain 'COS' node expects radians and is easily confused with this one.
