Syntax

virtual bool ComputePenetration
(
    FMTDResult & OutMTD,
    const FCollisionShape & CollisionShape,
    const FVector & Pos,
    const FQuat & Rot
)

Remarks

Computes the minimum translation direction (MTD) when an overlap exists between the component and the given shape.

Returns

true if the computation succeeded - assumes that there is an overlap at the specified position/rotation

Parameters

Parameter	Description
OutMTD	Outputs the MTD to move CollisionShape out of penetration
CollisionShape	Shape information for the geometry testing against
Pos	Location of collision shape
Rot	Rotation of collision shape
