UPhysicsSpringComponent | Unreal Engine 5.7 Documentation

API > API/Runtime > API/Runtime/Engine

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.
