UKismetMathLibrary::GetRightVector
#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns the world-space unit vector pointing in the right (Y+) direction for the given rotation. Equivalent to rotating FVector::RightVector by InRot.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • In UE's left-handed coordinate system, 'right' is the positive Y axis. This is the opposite convention from many other engines and 3D tools — do not assume +X is right.
- • For strafing movement, use this vector scaled by an input axis value and added to velocity, rather than trying to derive it from the forward vector via cross product (which introduces error for non-zero pitch).
