I’ve managed to change the rotation of the Root Component of my bluescript, and i’m not sure i should be able to change it. (I assume i shouldn’t be able to since the rotation is hidden when selecting the root component).
Changing it is somehow not affecting the actor, it seems that it doesn’t really care if it is rotated or not, since it will always be using the root components local rotation anyway (i havent tested it much, but at first glance, it seems to be ok.)
However it feels to me that it is an unintended “feature”, and i’m not sure if i can fully reset the bluescript after changing the root-rotation in this way. I imagine you can reverse it by doing it again with reversed/negative values, but sometimes you might not be able to recall with WHAT values you have changed the rotation with.
Am i missing a huge “Reset Root” button somewhere, or is this a common problem, i dunno. It is a bit annoying if it is not resetable, at least.
Bump, this is still a bug in UE5. (5.0.2-20280985+++UE5+Release-5.0)
Make a new BP Actor, add a capsule component, rotate the capsule by 90 on Y axis, drag capsule over root and replace the default scene component, observe the capsule is still at a 90 degree angle but you can no longer access the rotation or location properties in the details panel.
If you know what rotation you set you can use the same bug as a workaround to fix it.
Create a new scene component, drag that over the capsule to replace it, the capsule should automatically be set as a child of the new scene component, observe the capsule is still rotated by 90 however the details panel says its rotation is all zeros, rotate it by -90 on Y axis and drag it back over to replace the root component again, and you will now have the capsule back to its original state.
