How can i make the cable go the same direction of the line-trace + How can I make my cable have more range and not point down in 2D?

[DDonster21]

Another question I’m hoping to seek answers for, I’m making a 2.5D Game Project and I’m trying to figure out how to make a Grappling Mechanic. I’ve looked everywhere, and asked questions and made some progress, but it always stops at the cables range and triggering to appear

This is my code so far, and also it in action

Hopefully I’ll find an answer, I know unreal in 2D is hard to do, but hopefully I get an answer to this eternal problem I’ve had

I believe End Location expects a Local Space value, whereas Impact Point is in World Space. You need to convert Impact Point to Local Space by using the Inverse Transform Location function.

Connect Get Actor Transform (or Cable → Get World Transform) to the T pin, the return value will be in Local Space.

Transform a position by the inverse of the supplied transform. For example, if T was an object’s transform, this would transform a position from world space to local space.

Converting a vector from world space to local space, and vice versa, in blueprint

This seems like such a common and useful operation that I thought there would be an inbuilt function, but apparently not. What is the easiest way to achieve both of these tasks? I did search and came up with nothing. I have figured out a way, which I posted below, to convert a local vector to world space, but have not tackled the opposite direction, and have not taken into account scaling as I don’t need it yet.

Thanks! That actually worked!

Also found out the other question I had, which was also solved with that solution too
