Is there an altitude setting anywhere in this engine?

Working on something that needs an altitude setting. Does this engine have that?

@ epic; If not, is it possible to get it added in the future?

What is an “altitude setting”?

Elevation, Determines the height. How high up the mountain you are.

That’s not really how engines like Unreal work. There’s no such thing as absolute elevation. You could be at the origin (0, 0, 0) and yet for gameplay purposes you might treat that as an elevation of 10,000ft.

But there is always the Z-component of a position. If you build your levels “correctly” the Z-component of any position could be considered the elevation. No one outside your project would call it elevation, but you could use it that way.

Yeah i was thinking of using the Z and use origin (0, 0, 0) as the sea level marker. thanks for the input.
