Advice on Manually placed objects far from ellipsoid center

[janine]

Hey @BDelacroix,

I recently did a dive into the spring arm component code while working on this issue:

CesiumOriginShift error

Hey @MQS, Thanks for your patience! I think I’ve got something working, but you can stress test it for me and let me know if something comes up Create a new C++ class & configure the project Go to Tools > C++ class. Under “All Classes”, search and select SpringArmComponent. Name your class; for this walkthrough I’ve named it CesiumSpringArmComponent. Add it as Public to your project. This should open the files in Visual Studio and generate a solution for your project. In your pr…

Inside USpringArmComponent, the rotation is “lagged” by interpolating between the current rotation and a desired rotation, which is a member variable FRotator PreviousDesiredRot;

So to remedy the difference between the globe-relative rotation, and Unreal’s local rotations, you may have to use a similar approach in the forum post I linked. But instead of (or in addition to) caching the camera’s globe-relative position, you may have to cache the globe-relative rotation of the camera.

This is just a driveby suggestion though. Maybe you’ve already found a solution!
