Please help me understand the node Get Vector Value and its return value

Hello,I’m new to UE.When I checked the plugin downloaded from market. I noticed the node Get Vector Value. The node has two input values, Target and InTime, an output value Return value, a Vector type value. I don’t understand the vector returned. The Target looks like it has something to do with the ‘curve’. Which curve is it??
Would you please give me an example? I’d appreciate it if you’d do me a favor.thx :hugs:

If this is a node originating from a plugin, do tell which plugin it is. There’s a bazillion of plugins out there.


If you mean this, (nothing to do with plugins):

  • one can create curves in the Content Browser, it’s a bunch of pre-interpolated data:

  • this vector curve is actually 3 curves:

If you feed the node inTime, it will spit out a value of all those curves at that time:

Above, at .8 Time, the Value of Z is .175.


Which curve is it?? Would you please give me an example?

  • once you’ve created a curve:

  • you can create a variable referencing it:

  • you can then sample that curve to pull relevant data:
