UKismetMathLibrary::MakeRotator

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Constructs an FRotator from explicit Roll, Pitch, and Yaw values in degrees. The canonical Blueprint 'Make Rotator' node.

Caveats & Gotchas

• FRotator stores values as (Pitch, Yaw, Roll) internally but this function accepts parameters as (Roll, Pitch, Yaw) — mismatching the order is a common source of subtle rotation bugs.
• Values are not clamped; values outside [-360, 360] work but can cause unexpected results when interpolating with RInterpTo or comparing with NormalizeRotator.

Signature

static UE_INL_API FRotator MakeRotator(
		UPARAM(DisplayName="X (Roll)") float Roll,	
		UPARAM(DisplayName="Y (Pitch)") float Pitch,
		UPARAM(DisplayName="Z (Yaw)") float Yaw);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
Roll	float	Rotation around the X axis in degrees.	—
Pitch	float	Rotation around the Y axis in degrees.	—
Yaw	float	Rotation around the Z axis in degrees.	—

Return Type

FRotator

Example

Create a rotator pointing 45 degrees down C++

FRotator DownRot = UKismetMathLibrary::MakeRotator(0.f, -45.f, 0.f);
MyComponent->SetWorldRotation(DownRot);
