Get SpringArmComponent relative rotation no longer works

[Kontur]

Hi @EU_Coxis , thanks for your input!

Which engine version are you using? I am using 4.18 (sorry, forgot to mention in the original post), and according to the answerhub page I have linked, the SpringArmComponent’s behavior has been changed and the GetRelativeRotation() method returns a zero rotator by design.

From the answerhub by Natalia form Epic:

After looking into this I found out that this is actually by design. A bug existed where it did rotate on all axis in previous engine versions, but that caused multiple issues with performance and not being able to make changes to the rotation.

That issue was fixed and the rotation stays at zero now, by design. I hope this clarifies any concerns and questions you might have relating to this. Please let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with.

Which is fine, but it broke everything that was relying on the relative rotation of the SpringArmComponent.

How can I get the relative rotation of a SpringArmComponent relative to the parent.?
