Hi,

Here are the steps to reproduce this bug;

1, Open a third person template.

2, Inside the character BP, place ‘GetVelocity’ node (the target is actor) and plug the output vector into a print node.

3, Plug the ‘EventTick’ into the print execution pin.

4, Now if you run over the stairs (inside the default third person level) or create a ramp using a simple box, then run over it, the ‘GetVelocity’ does not print any value along Z axis unless the character is jumping or falling.

5, I have checked this issue in both ‘MaintainHorizontalGroundVeclocity’ checkbox set to true and false cases and the result was the same. I also have checked it on bumpy landscapes and static mesh surfaces.

Regards,

Could anyone reproduce it in 4.15?
