Summary

The Player Spawn Pad device has a natural rotation of -21.576655° on the Yaw axis which causes players to spawn looking slightly to the left. The “player mesh” component is facing on a 0.0° rotation and appears to be at +21.576655° when the Spawn Pad is rotated to the correct orientation. The disparity between the Player Mesh and the Spawn Pad Base is confusing to creators and some creators may not even know why it occurs.

Steps to Reproduce

UEFN: Open a new UEFN project and check the rotation of the Spawn Pads that are automatically generated.

Creative: Open a blank island and pull out a Spawn Pad device. Reset the Rotation and place it down. It will be off by 21.576655°

Expected Result

Spawn pads should spawn players facing directly straight instead of at a random 21.576655° angle

Observed Result

Player spawns looking 21.576655° counter-clockwise instead of straight 0.0 (true north)
