UKismetStringLibrary::Conv_StringToRotator
#include "Kismet/KismetStringLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Parses a string in the 'P= Y= R=' format produced by rotator-to-string conversion back into an FRotator, reporting whether parsing succeeded via OutIsValid.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Uses FRotator::InitFromString, which parses Pitch, Yaw and Roll independently, so a string missing one axis can still report partial success rather than a clean failure.
- • OutConvertedRotator isn't reset to zero on failure, so check OutIsValid before applying the result to an actor's rotation.
Signature
static void Conv_StringToRotator(const FString& InString, FRotator& OutConvertedRotator, bool& OutIsValid)Parameters
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| InString | const FString& | The string to parse, expected in the 'P= Y= R=' format. | — |
| OutConvertedRotator | FRotator& | The parsed rotator value; only meaningful when OutIsValid is true. | — |
| OutIsValid | bool& | True if InString was successfully parsed into a rotator. | — |
Return Type
void Example
Restore a saved rotation from a string C++
FString RotText = TEXT("P=0.000000 Y=90.000000 R=0.000000");
FRotator SavedRotation;
bool bIsValid = false;
UKismetStringLibrary::Conv_StringToRotator(RotText, SavedRotation, bIsValid);
if (bIsValid)
{
SetActorRotation(SavedRotation);
