UKismetMathLibrary::Vector_ToDegrees

Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Converts each component of a vector from radians to degrees, returning (X*180/PI, Y*180/PI, Z*180/PI). Useful when converting radian-based angle results back into a degree-based Euler vector.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • This is a component-wise multiply by 180/PI. It is only meaningful when the vector stores radian angle values — not for direction or position vectors.
- • UE's FRotator and most rotation APIs expect degrees, so use this when bridging from a radian-returning API (e.g. atan2) back to an FRotator.
- • Pair with Vector_ToRadians for the reverse conversion. Converting back and forth repeatedly accumulates floating-point error.
