PlayMontageUE 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7updated 2mo agoPattern for snapping object to ground: GetActorLocation → Add Vector(Z=+1000) → as TraceStart. GetActorLocation → Subtract Vector(Z=1000) → as TraceEnd. LineTraceByChannel(Start=TraceStart, End=TraceEnd, TraceChannel=Visibility) → Branch(ReturnValue=true) → BreakHitResult → SetActorLocation(NewLocation=ImpactPoint) → SetActorRotation(NewRotation=MakeRotFromZ(Normal)) [align to surface normal]. MakeRotFromZ takes a 'Z' input Vector and outputs Rotator aligned to that normal.
