UKismetMathLibrary::FindLookAtRotation
#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"

Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns the rotation needed for an object at Start to face the Target position in world space. Only Pitch and Yaw are computed; Roll is always zero in the result.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Roll is always 0 in the returned rotator — if you need a roll component, you must add it manually after calling this function.
- • When Start and Target are the same point the function returns a zero rotator rather than asserting, so check for coincident positions if that case should be an error in your logic.
- • The result is in world space. To drive an aim-offset or socket that lives in local space, combine the result with the owning component's inverse rotation using NormalizedDeltaRotator.
