Variables

Name Description

Public variable

uint8: 1

 

bActorSpaceFakeVel

Whether 'fake' velocity should be applied in actor or world space.

Public variable

FBoneReference

 

BaseJoint

Base Joint to calculate velocity from. If none, it will use Component's World Transform. .

Public variable

uint8: 1

 

bEditorDebugEnabled

This is used by selection node. Use this transient flag.

Public variable

uint8: 1

 

bEnableDebug

Enable Debug in the PIE. This doesn't work in game

Public variable

uint8: 1

 

bHadValidStrength

Did we have a non-zero ControlStrength last frame.

Public variable

uint8: 1

 

bInvertChainBoneAxis

Invert the direction specified in ChainBoneAxis.

Public variable

uint8: 1

 

bLimitRotation

Limit the amount that a bone can stretch from its ref-pose length.

Public variable

uint8: 1

 

bLimitStretch

Limit the amount that a bone can stretch from its ref-pose length.

Public variable

uint8: 1

 

bReorientParentToChild

Fix up rotation to face child for the parent

Public variable

uint8: 1

 

bShowBaseMotion

Show Base Motion

Public variable

uint8: 1

 

bShowLimit

Show Planar Limits

Public variable

uint8: 1

 

bShowTrailLocation

Show Trail Location

Public variable

uint8: 1

 

bUsePlanarLimit

ChainBoneAxis

Axis of the bones to point along trail.

Public variable

int32

 

ChainLength

Number of bones above the active one in the hierarchy to modify. ChainLength should be at least 2.

Public variable

float

 

DebugLifeTime

Debug Life Time

Public variable

FVector

 

FakeVelocity

'Fake' velocity applied to bones.

Public variable

float

 

LastBoneRotationAnimAlphaBlend

How to set last bone rotation.

Public variable

float

 

MaxDeltaTime

To avoid hitches causing stretch of trail, you can use MaxDeltaTime to clamp the long delta time.

Public variable

FTransform

 

OldBaseTransform

LocalToWorld used last frame, used for building transform between frames.

StretchLimit

If bLimitStretch is true, this indicates how long a bone can stretch beyond its length in the ref-pose.

Public variable

float

 

ThisTimstep

Internal use - we need the timestep to do the relaxation in CalculateNewBoneTransforms.

Public variable

FBoneReference

 

TrailBone

Reference to the active bone in the hierarchy to modify.

Public variable
