Gravity Controller

AGravityController is a player controller helper for custom gravity movement. It provides Blueprint-pure helpers for converting rotations:

Function Purpose
GetGravityRelativeRotation Converts a world-space rotation to gravity-relative space.
GetGravityWorldRotation Converts a gravity-relative rotation to world space.

Use these helpers when player camera/control rotation must remain stable as gravity changes around a spherical planet.

The gravity controller approach is based on Epic's Custom Gravity in UE 5.4 community tutorial.
