UKismetMathLibrary::Vector_GetAbs
#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns a copy of the vector with each component replaced by its absolute value: (|X|, |Y|, |Z|). All components of the result are non-negative.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • This operates component-wise, not on the vector's magnitude. The resulting vector may have a different direction than the original.
- • Commonly used to compute distances along individual axes without sign — not for normalizing direction.
- • Equivalent to FVector(FMath::Abs(A.X), FMath::Abs(A.Y), FMath::Abs(A.Z)) written inline.
