Variables

	Name	Description
FBoneReference	BaseBoneRef	Matters if SimulationSpace is BaseBone
uint8: 1	bClampLinearTranslationLimitToRefPose	Correct for linear tearing on bodies with all axes Locked.
uint8: 1	bEnableWorldGeometry
bool	bForceDisableCollisionBetweenConstraintBodies	Whether to allow collisions between two bodies joined by a constraint
uint8: 1	bFreezeIncomingPoseOnStart	When simulation starts, freeze incoming pose.
uint8: 1	bOverrideWorldGravity
uint8: 1	bTransferBoneVelocities	When simulation starts, transfer previous bone velocities (from animation) to make transition into simulation seamless.
float	CachedBoundsScale	Scale of cached bounds (vs. actual bounds).
FVector	ComponentAppliedLinearAccClamp	When using non-world-space sim, this is an overall clamp on acceleration derived from ComponentLinearAccScale and ComponentLinearVelScale, to ensure it is not too large.
FVector	ComponentLinearAccScale	When using non-world-space sim, this controls how much of the components world-space acceleration is passed on to the local-space simulation.
FVector	ComponentLinearVelScale	When using non-world-space sim, this applies a 'drag' to the bodies in the local space simulation, based on the components world-space velocity.
float	EvaluationResetTime	If the node is not evaluated for this amount of time (seconds), either because a lower LOD was in use for a while or the component was not visible, reset the simulation to the default pose on the next evaluation.
FVector	ExternalForce	Applies a uniform external force in world space.
TEnumAsByte< EC...	OverlapChannel	The channel we use to find static geometry to collide with
UPhysicsAsset &...	OverridePhysicsAsset	Physics asset to use. If empty use the skeletal mesh's default physics asset
FVector	OverrideWorldGravity	Override gravity
FSimSpaceSettin...	SimSpaceSettings	Settings for the system which passes motion of the simulation's space into the simulation.
ESimulationSpac...	SimulationSpace	What space to simulate the bodies in. This affects how velocities are generated
float	WorldSpaceMinimumScale	For world-space simulations, if the magnitude of the component's 3D scale is less than WorldSpaceMinimumScale, do not update the node.

Functions

	Name	Description
void	AddImpulseAtLocation ( FVector Impulse, FVector Location, FName BoneName )
ImmediatePhy...	GetSimulation()	TEMP: Exposed for use in PhAt as a quick way to get drag handles working with Chaos.
void	PostSerialize ( const FArchive& Ar )

Overridden from FAnimNode_SkeletalControlBase

	Name	Description
void	EvaluateComponentPose_AnyThread ( FComponentSpacePoseContext& Output )	Evaluate incoming component pose.
void	EvaluateSkeletalControl_AnyThread ( FComponentSpacePoseContext& Output, TArray< FBoneTransform >& OutBoneT... )	Evaluate the new component-space transforms for the affected bones.
bool	IsValidToEvaluate ( const USkeleton* Skeleton, const FBoneContainer& RequiredBone... )	Return true if it is valid to Evaluate
void	UpdateComponentPose_AnyThread ( const FAnimationUpdateContext& Con... )	Update incoming component pose.
void	UpdateInternal ( const FAnimationUpdateContext& Con... )	Interface for derived skeletal controls to implement use this function to update for skeletal control base

Overridden from FAnimNode_Base

	Name	Description
void	GatherDebugData ( FNodeDebugData& DebugData )	Called to gather on-screen debug data. This is called on the game thread.
int32	GetLODThreshold()
bool	HasPreUpdate()	Override this to indicate that PreUpdate() should be called on the game thread (usually to gather non-thread safe data) before Update() is called.
bool	NeedsDynamicReset()	For nodes that implement some kind of simulation, return true here so ResetDynamics() gets called when things like teleports, time skips etc.
bool	NeedsOnInitializeAnimInstance()	For nodes that need some kind of initialization that is not dependent on node relevancy (i.e. it is insufficent or inefficent to use Initialize_AnyThread), return true here.
void	OnInitializeAnimInstance ( const FAnimInstanceProxy* InPr..., const UAnimInstance* InAnimIns... )	Called once, from game thread as the parent anim instance is created
void	PreUpdate ( const UAnimInstance* InAnimIns... )	Override this to perform game-thread work prior to non-game thread Update() being called
void	ResetDynamics ( ETeleportType InTeleportType )	Called to help dynamics-based updates to recover correctly from large movements/teleports
