Blueprints - PlayerCameraManager->getActorRotation() returns wrong rotation

[Sim_Dev]

Hello,

I was dealing with the exact same issue as you getting these weird rotation returns from the getActorRotation() function. In my case I was interpolating a camera between them using the sequencer which was causing all kinds of strange behavior during interpolation. My hotfix was the same as yours, in that I set my -90 rotation nodes to -89.99 to avoid the issue.

Details here if you’re interested:

How to automatically update a set of level sequences based on actor transform?

Hello, I have been learning the level sequencer and created 3 simple level sequences that move from the transform of the cube at the top, to the transform of the three shapes below. The narrow cylinders represent the path of the camera in the sequences, just a direct movement from point to point. Now, the problem is that each of these sequences was hand made using the transform of the cube for the starting position and the transforms of the other shapes for the destination. If I decide to move …

Anyway, the fix I was taught to deal with this problem is to use the “bUseQuaternionInterpolation” property when interpolating between transforms. This seems to be specific to the sequencer and the movie scene sections, but you can look at how the engine uses this variable to maybe help with your problem.

For anyone using blueprints to access the tracks and sections of the sequencer, you can edit the property like so:
