Syntax

UCLASS (HideCategories=(Object, Mobility, LOD), ClassGroup=Physics, ShowCategories=Trigger,  
       MinimalAPI)  
class UPhysicsSpringComponent : public USceneComponent

Remarks

Note: this component is still work in progress. Uses raycast springs for simple vehicle forces Used with objects that have physics to create a spring down the X direction ie. point X in the direction you want generate spring.

Variables

  Type Name Description
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, Meta BlueprintReadWrite bool bIgnoreSelf If true, the spring will ignore all components in its own actor
Public variable UProperty Category BlueprintReadWrite TEnumAsByte< enum ECollisionChannel > SpringChannel Strength of thrust force applied to the base object.
Public variable UProperty Category BlueprintReadOnly Transient float SpringCompression The current compression of the spring. A spring at rest will have SpringCompression 0.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere BlueprintReadWrite float SpringDamping Specifies how quickly the spring can absorb energy of a body.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, Meta BlueprintReadWrite float SpringLengthAtRest Determines how long the spring will be along the X-axis at rest.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, Meta BlueprintReadWrite float SpringRadius Determines the radius of the spring.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere BlueprintReadWrite float SpringStiffness Specifies how much strength the spring has.

Constructors
