Variables

  Type Name Description
Public variable uint32: 1 bInheritBoneVelocity If true, particles inherit the associated bone velocity when spawned
Public variable uint32: 1 bOrientMeshEmitters If true, rotate mesh emitter meshes to orient w/ the socket. Currently does nothing.
Public variable uint32: 1 bUpdatePositionEachFrame If true, update the particle locations each frame with that of the bone/socket
Public variable TObjectPtr< class USkeletalMesh > EditorSkelMesh The name of the skeletal mesh to use in the editor
Public variable float InheritVelocityScale A scale on how much of the bone's velocity a particle will inherit.
Public variable int32 NumPreSelectedIndices When we have no source locations and we need to track bone velocities due to bInheritBoneVelocity, we pre select a set of bones to use each frame.
Public variable TEnumAsByte< enum ELocationBoneSocketSelectionMethod > SelectionMethod The method by which to select the bone/socket to spawn at.
Public variable FName SkelMeshActorParamName The parameter name of the skeletal mesh actor that supplies the SkelMeshComponent for in-game.
Public variable EBoneSocketSourceIndexMode SourceIndexMode How particle SourceIndex should be interpreted.
Public variable TArray< struct FLocationBoneSocketInfo > SourceLocations The name(s) of the bone/socket(s) to position at.
Public variable TEnumAsByte< enum ELocationBoneSocketSource > SourceType Whether the module uses Bones or Sockets for locations.
Public variable FVector UniversalOffset An offset to apply to each bone/socket
