Billboard Screensize scaling is not working correctly

Development Programming & Scripting

Steps to repro:

  1. Create a Blueprint Actor
  2. Drop in a Billboard Component
  3. Toggle on Is Screen Size Scaled
  4. Notice a slight scale when you go into the positive, but it seems clamped
  5. Go into the negative however, and you are able to “properly” scale it albeit upside-down.

Hey,

This bug has been reported before and shares the same root issue that has been logged with Material Billboards. I’m leaving a link to the public tracker for the related JIRA UE-37381

Thanks again!

It is clamped by the absolute scale in transform.
