Syntax

virtual void AddForceAtLocation
(
    FVector Force,
    FVector Location,
    FName BoneName
)

Remarks

Add a force to a single rigid body at a particular location in world space. This is like a 'thruster'. Good for adding a burst over some (non zero) time. Should be called every frame for the duration of the force.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Force	Force vector to apply. Magnitude indicates strength of force.
Location	Location to apply force, in world space.
BoneName	If a SkeletalMeshComponent, name of body to apply force to. 'None' indicates root body.
