Functions

  Type Name Description
Public function void

AddLocalForce ( const FVector& Force,
bool bAllowSubstepping,
bool bIsLocalForce,
bool bLevelSlope,
const FColor& DebugColorIn
)

 Force application function, handles deferred force application and applying the force at the collect location based on whether the GC cluster is intact or fractured Note: forces are applied in local coordinates of the module
Public function void

AddLocalForceAtPosition ( const FVector& Force,
const FVector& Position,
bool bAllowSubstepping,
bool bIsLocalForce,
bool bLevelSlope,
const FColor& DebugColorIn
)

 Force application function, handles deferred force application and applying the force at the collect location based on whether the GC cluster is intact or fractured Note: forces are applied in local coordinates of the module
Public function Virtual void Option to draw debug for this module requires CVar p.Chaos.DebugDraw.Enabled 1
Public function const FVector & For headless chaos testing
Public function Const const FTransform &  
Public function Const const FString Get the friendly name for this module, primarily for logging & debugging module tree
Public function Virtual Const bool

GetDebugString ( FString& StringOut
)

 Option to return debug text for drawing on the HUD in the Game Thread
Public function ISimulationModuleBase *  
Public function Const const FTransform &  
Public function Const const FVector &  
Public function ISimulationModuleBase *  
Public function Const const FTransform & The modules transform relative to the simulating body will depend on whether the GC is intact (get the transform relative to intact cluster) or fractured (transform relative to fractured part)
Public function Const eSimType The specific simulation type
Public function Const const int  
Public function Const int  
Public function Const bool Is Module of a specific behavioral data type
Public function Const bool  
Public function Virtual Const bool Is Module active and simulating
Public function void

SetClustered ( bool IsClusteredIn
)

 Let the module know if it is still clustered or not
Public function void

SetClusteredTransform ( const FTransform& TransformIn
)

 Set the COM relative transform of module when it is clustered, so relative to parent COM
Public function void

SetIntactTransform ( const FTransform& TransformIn
)

 Set the COM relative transform of module when it is broken off, so relative to itself
Public function void

SetLocalVelocity ( const FVector& VelocityIn
)

 Update the module with its current velocity
Public function void

SetSimModuleTree ( FSimModuleTree* SimModuleTreeIn
)

 Very useful to store the simulation tree pointer in which we are stored, then we can access other modules that we reference through an index
Public function void

SetStateFlags ( eSimModuleState StateFlagsIn
)

 Set Module state, if simulating or not
Public function void

SetTransformIndex ( int TransformIndexIn
)

 The transform index references the transform collection, mapping the simulation module to the geometry collection data
Public function void

SetTreeIndex ( int TreeIndexIn
)

 The modules own index in the simulation tree array
Public function Virtual void

Simulate ( float DeltaTime,
const FAllInputs& Inputs,
FSimModuleTree& VehicleModuleSystem
)

 The main Simulation function that is called from the physics async callback thread
