UKismetStringLibrary::Conv_BoxCenterAndExtentsToString

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetStringLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPureBlueprintAutocast

Description

Converts an FBox to a string showing its computed Center and Extent values rather than raw Min/Max corners. Backs the 'To String Center and Extents (Box)' Blueprint conversion node.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Distinct node from Conv_BoxToString: this one derives and prints Center/Extent, which is more useful for describing a volume's size and position but does not preserve the original Min/Max corner values exactly if the box is degenerate.
• For an invalid/zero-initialized FBox, Center will read as (0,0,0) and Extent as (0,0,0), which is indistinguishable from a genuinely zero-sized box at the origin — check Box.IsValid() before trusting the string.
