Variables

  Type Name Description
Public variable TObjectPtr< UAnalysisProperties >[3] AnalysisProperties Analysis properties for each axis.
Public variable float AnimLength This is the maximum length of any sample in the blendspace.
Protected variable TEnumAsByte< EBlendSpaceAxis > AxisToScaleAnimation If you have input smoothing, this specifies the axis on which to scale the animation playback speed.
Public variable bool bAllowMeshSpaceBlending If set then blending is performed in mesh space if there are per-bone sample smoothing overrides.
Public variable bool bContainsRotationOffsetMeshSpaceSamples Indicates whether any samples have the flag to apply rotation offsets in mesh space
Public variable bool bInterpolateUsingGrid If true then interpolation is done via a grid at runtime.
Protected variable FBlendParameter[3] BlendParameters Blend Parameters for each axis.
Protected variable FBlendSpaceData BlendSpaceData Container for the runtime data, which could be line segments, triangulation or tetrahedrons
Public variable bool bLoop The default looping behavior of this blend space. Asset players can override this
Public variable bool bTargetWeightInterpolationEaseInOut If set then this eases in/out the sample weight adjustments, using the speed to determine how much smoothing to apply.
Public variable TObjectPtr< UCachedAnalysisProperties >[3] CachedAnalysisProperties Cached properties used to initialize properties when newly created.
Protected variable TArray< int32 > DimensionIndices The order in which to use the dimensions in the data - e.g. [1, 2] means a 2D blend using Y and Z
Protected variable TArray< struct FEditorElement > GridSamples Grid samples, indexing scheme imposed by subclass
Public variable FInterpolationParameter[3] InterpolationParam Input Smoothing parameters for each input axis
Protected variable TArray< FPerBoneInterpolation > ManualPerBoneOverrides Per bone sample smoothing settings, which affect the specified bone and all its descendants in the skeleton.
Public variable TEnumAsByte< ENotifyTriggerMode::Type > NotifyTriggerMode The current mode used by the BlendSpace to decide which animation notifies to fire.
Protected variable EBlendSpacePerBoneBlendMode PerBoneBlendMode There are two ways to use per pone sample smoothing: Blend profiles and manually maintaining the per bone overrides.
Protected variable FBlendSpaceBlendProfile PerBoneBlendProfile Reference to a blend profile of the corresponding skeleton to be used for per bone smoothing in case the per bone blend mode is set to use a blend profile.
Protected variable TArray< FPerBoneInterpolation > PerBoneBlendValues Stores the actual bone references and their smoothing interpolation speeds used by the blend space.
Public variable EPreferredTriangulationDirection PreferredTriangulationDirection Preferred edge direction when the triangulation has to make an arbitrary choice
Public variable TObjectPtr< UAnimSequence > PreviewBasePose Preview Base pose for additive BlendSpace
Protected variable FVector[3] PreviousAxisMinMaxValues

Protected variable TArray< struct FBlendSample > SampleData Sample animation data
Protected variable int32 SampleIndexWithMarkers Track index to get marker data from.
Public variable float TargetWeightInterpolationSpeedPerSec If greater than zero, this is the speed at which the sample weights are allowed to change.
