I have a line trace that im trying to use to find the z coordinate of the landscape so I can spawn an actor on it. It always gives me a zero for the z coordinate.
Hi, @xXMeisthabestXx!
This worked with WorldStatic on terrain:
The only thing I can’t confirm as identical would be your start and end, so it may have something to do with your start and end locations.

Would it matter if the landscape is from the open world level template?
Also my start is about 10000z (probably a bit dramatic) and my end location is at 0z which should be about 100 units below the landscape
It does matter- kind of!
The default open world landscape does start at Z=0 and goes on for a while in all directions at 0. I even tested this just now by making a new default open world level (and got 0) then I moved the starting location to the hilly areas and I was getting between 100 and 200 Z with this exact setup!
I would say check your collision profile for the terrain but if you’re getting X and Y that isn’t an issue.
I’m at work right now, when I get home I going to try moving to the hilly areas and see what I get. I looked at the section of landscape I am on, in the world outliner is says my location is at z100.
I’ll try a different spot when i get home
Ah that might be a misconception then! If it’s saying YOUR (as in your character’s) position is around 100, that would be correct- it’s using the center of your character, not the surface of the ground itself. Naturally your character is about 1.8m (180 unreal units) high, so half of that comes out to 92.
I worded that wrong
I meant that when i highlight the landscape region in the world outliner it says the z coord is at 100. But it seems that it is actually at 0. Im still not sure why details says z is at 100.
Im sure its just something i dont understand
So when you select the landscape in the world outliner, the Z coordinate says it is at 100… To be clear, we’re not referring to the actual height of a point on the surface, right?
Now, you say it “Seems that it is actually at 0.” How are you gathering that information?
