Steps to Reproduce
Calling [Get Physics Linear Velocity at Point] on an actor that is rotating always gives wrong results.
I created an actor blueprint to attach to the actor whose linear velocity is being detected. It gets its own linear velocity and the linear velocity at the target position and draws them as arrows. The red arrow is the linear velocity of using [Get Physics Linear Velocity at Point]; the green arrow is the linear velocity of the [attach actor root] component. Obviously, the speed of the red arrow is completely wrong.
Expected Result
I use [Get Physics Linear Velocity at Point] to get the linear velocity of a point on a rotating actor. It should be the same as the linear velocity of the attached actor at that point.
Observed Result
I’m using [Get Physics Linear Velocity at Point] to get the linear velocity of a point on a rotating actor. It doesn’t match the linear velocity of the attached actor at that point at all.
