UKismetMathLibrary::InverseTransformDirection
#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Transforms a direction vector by the inverse of the supplied transform without changing its length. For example, if T is an object's world transform, this converts a world-space direction into that object's local space.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Unlike InverseTransformLocation, translation is ignored — only rotation and scale are applied, since directions have no position.
- • The output length can still change if T has non-uniform scale, even though the function is documented as length-preserving for the uniform-scale case.
