Summary

With Experimental Physics enabled in project settings, fort_chararter.GetViewRotation() always returns a constant value.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Character

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Make a new creative_device that gets player’s view rotation through fort_chararter.GetViewRotation()
  2. Print player’s view rotation

Expected Result

Player’s view rotation should get player’s camera rotation

Observed Result

Player’s rotation is always at constant:
Axis: {x=0.000000,y=0.000000,z=1.000000} Angle: 70.001099
or
Yaw: 70.001099, Pitch: 0.000000, Roll: 0.000000 after converting the rotation through .GetYawPitchRollDegrees()

                    Roll := FCRot.GetYawPitchRollDegrees()[2]
                then:
                    Print("Looking at Yaw: {Yaw}, Pitch: {Pitch}, Roll: {Roll}")
                Print("Looking at Rotation: {FCRot}")
                Sleep(0.1)

Can confirm, this is super annoying. Will have to turn physics off in order to continue developing my project.

I checked, this is still an issue in v36.10

ohhhh is THAT why my sweeps were being so weird in 3D?!? After some panicking: I thought I just accidentally added worldspace/playerpos to the Displacement (viewrot*10m) due to re-using the var for debug_draw.DrawArrow()… but maybe I imagined that, and it was just euler-lock practice :rofl:

edit! haha yup! All along, It was just because I enabled physics in that playground lol!
BTW I tried with both versions of SpatialMath and same issue, I guess they will make a GetViewRotation() for LUF that will prob work in the physics playground later.

FORT-922422 is now ‘In Progress’! Our team is actively working on it!
