I was using SetActorLocation(UKismetMathLibrary::VInterpTo to move actors, but I notice it does not move my actors at a constant rate. I did research and found that VInterpTo_Constant is supposed to do the same as VInterp but is a constant rate. However, when i do SetActorLocation(UKismetMathLibrary::VInterpTo_Constant, my actors do not move at all. Is this normal? how do I get my actors to move at a constant rate???
What are you you feeding into the vinterptoconstant functionsâs alpha param each tick?
This is something that is used multiple times, once for each change in location (so usually in a tick).
I am feeding VInterpTo_Constant the exact same params that I feed VInterpTo, a function that actually works for me.
I realized the issue. The interp speed for VInterpTo_Constant needs to be much larger than for VInterpTo.

Makes me wonder if âConstantâ means it multiplies the position offset by a constant factor instead of a linear or quadratic one and maybe the other VInterpto uses some kind of easing formula?
Been a while but if anyone stumbles across this there is another weird quirk. The value you feed into the âInterp Speedâ doesnât like to be altered at runtime with an exposed parameter. So not only does the value need to be much higher for the vinterp constant then the vinterp (like multiply your value by 1000), you will need to re-play the editor to see the changes. Can likely get around this by encapsulating all the logic into an event to re-initialize.
