Syntax

virtual void GetActorEyesViewPoint
(
FVector & OutLocation,
FRotator & OutRotation
) const

Remarks

Returns the point of view of the actor. Note that this doesn't mean the camera, but the 'eyes' of the actor. For example, for a Pawn, this would define the eye height location, and view rotation (which is different from the pawn rotation which has a zeroed pitch component). A camera first person view will typically use this view point. Most traces (weapon, AI) will be done from this view point.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
OutLocation	location of view point
OutRotation	view rotation of actor.
