Hi, so the tutorial says to enter a “Translate Tool” value but I don’t see that anywhere in the menu at all. I do however see the Scale tool.
Basically the translate tool is moving the actor around in the scene. At the top of the scene view there are translate, rotate and scale tools followed by a local and world/global toggle.
Translate refers to moving an object, commonly a Translate() function moves an object in local space however it doesn’t exist in blueprint, instead SetActorLocation and SetActorRelativeLocation are used.
Translate refers to the Location attribute (or transform, for the technical term of it and the other 2 terms Rotation and Scale). The tutorial did not use the term of the engine’s actual attribute, Location. It’s used in other programs. The “Tool” in the editor viewport is the first of those 3 main attributes (Location, Rotation, and Scale), and is the four arrows pointing up, down, left, and right…with either a globe or a cube in the center. The globe means it is currently in world space, and the cube denotes it is currently set in local space.
In world space, an object is going to change relative to its initial state or transform in the world. Local is relative to its transform (location, rotation, and scale) in its own object space. Look up a youtube video about world vs. local space to get a more defined understanding of the two.
