UKismetMathLibrary::RandomPointInBoundingBoxFromStream
#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns a random point inside an axis-aligned box, drawn from a specific FRandomStream so the point can be reproduced given the same seed.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • HalfSize is a half-extent, not the full box size — passing the full box dimensions produces a box twice as large as intended.
- • Negative components in HalfSize are not rejected; they flip which side of Center the range is sampled from rather than raising an error.
