Remarks

This node uses a source transform of a socket on the skeletal mesh to automatically calculate Yaw and Pitch directions for a referenced aim offset given a point in the world to look at.

Variables

	Name	Description
float	Alpha	Amount of this node to blend into the output pose
FPoseLink	BasePose
bool	bIsLODEnabled	Cached flag to indicate whether LOD threshold is enabled
FVector	CurrentBlendInput	Cached calculated blend input
int32	LODThreshold	Max LOD that this node is allowed to run For example if you have LODThreadhold to be 2, it will run until LOD 2 (based on 0 index) when the component LOD becomes 3, it will stop update/evaluate currently transition would be issue and that has to be re-visited
FVector	LookAtLocation	Location, in world space to look at
FBoneReference	PivotSocketBoneReference	Cached reference to the pivot socket's bone
FTransform	PivotSocketLocalTransform	Cached local transform of the pivot socket
FName	PivotSocketName	Socket to treat as the look at pivot (optional).
FVector	SocketAxis	Axis in the socket transform to consider the 'forward' or look at axis
FBoneReference	SocketBoneReference	Cached reference to the source socket's bone
FTransform	SocketLocalTransform	Cached local transform of the source socket
FName	SourceSocketName	Socket to treat as the look at source

Functions

		Name	Description
	void	UpdateFromLookAtTarget ( FPoseContext& LocalPoseContext )

Overridden from FAnimNode_BlendSpacePlayer

		Name	Description
	FVector	GetPosition()	Get the coordinates that are currently being sampled by the blendspace.

Overridden from FAnimNode_AssetPlayerBase

		Name	Description
	void	UpdateAssetPlayer ( const FAnimationUpdateContext& Con... )	Update method for the asset player, to be implemented by derived classes

Overridden from FAnimNode_Base

	Name	Description
void	CacheBones_AnyThread ( const FAnimationCacheBonesContext&... )	Called to cache any bones that this node needs to track (e.g. in a FBoneReference).
void	Evaluate_AnyThread ( FPoseContext& Output )	Called to evaluate local-space bones transforms according to the weights set up in Update().
void	GatherDebugData ( FNodeDebugData& DebugData )	Called to gather on-screen debug data. This is called on the game thread.
int32	GetLODThreshold()	Get the LOD threshold at which this node is enabled.
void	Initialize_AnyThread ( const FAnimationInitializeContext&... )	Initialize function for setup purposes
bool	NeedsOnInitializeAnimInstance()	For nodes that need some kind of initialization that is not dependent on node relevancy (i.e. it is insufficient or inefficient 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
