UKismetMathLibrary::GetMinElement

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns the smallest of the three component values (X, Y, or Z) of a vector. Useful for finding the tightest bound on a bounding box axis or for axis-sorting logic.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Returns the raw minimum component value, not its absolute value. A vector with large negative components will return a large negative number.
• This checks all three components including Z. If you only care about the 2D minimum, compare X and Y explicitly.
• For the minimum absolute component, use Vector_GetAbsMin instead.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
A	FVector	The vector to inspect.	—

Return Type

double

Example

Find the tightest axis extent of a bounds vector C++

FVector Extent = MyBox.GetExtent();
double SmallestExtent = UKismetMathLibrary::GetMinElement(Extent);
// SmallestExtent is the shortest axis of the box
