Exposed Interfaces

This interface exposes the following interfaces:

Name	Description
`positional`	Implemented by objects to allow reading position information.
`healable`	Implemented by Fortnite objects that can be healed.
`healthful`	Implemented by Fortnite objects that have health state and can be eliminated.
`damageable`	Implemented by Fortnite objects that can be damaged.
`shieldable`	Implemented by Fortnite objects that have shields. A shield is a method of protection that can take incoming damage while leaving the health state unchanged.
`game_action_instigator`	Implemented by Fortnite objects that initiate game actions, such as damage and heal. For example, player or agents. Event listeners often use `game_action_instigators` to calculate player damage scores.
`game_action_causer`	Implemented by Fortnite objects that can be passed through game action events, such as damage and heal. For example: player, vehicle, or weapon. Event Listeners often use `game_action_causer` to pass along additional information about what weapon caused the damage. Systems will then use that information for completing quests or processing game specific event logic.

Functions

Function Name	Description
`GetAgent`	Returns the agent associated with this `fort_character`. Use this when interacting with APIs that require an `agent` reference.
`EliminatedEvent`	Signaled when this `fort_character` is eliminated from the match.
`GetViewRotation`	Returns the rotation where this `fort_character` is looking or aiming at.
`GetViewLocation`	Returns the location where this `fort_character` is looking or aiming from.
`JumpedEvent`	Signaled when this `fort_character` jumps. Returns a listenable with a payload of this `fort_character`.
`CrouchedEvent`	Signaled when this `fort_character` changes crouch state. Sends `tuple` payload: 0: the `fort_character` that changed crouch states. 1: `true` if the character is crouching. `false` if the character is not crouching.
`SprintedEvent`	Signaled when this `fort_character` changes sprint state. Sends `tuple` payload: 0: the `fort_character` that changed sprint state. 1: `true` if the character is sprinting. `false` if the character stopped sprinting.
`IsActive`	Succeeds if this `fort_character` is in the world and has not been eliminated. Most fort_character actions will silently fail if this fails. Please test IsActive if you want to handle these failure cases rather than allow them to silently fail.
`IsDownButNotOut`	Succeeds if this `fort_character` is in the 'Down But Not Out' state. In this state the character is down but can still be revived by teammates for a period of time.
`IsCrouching`	Succeeds if this `fort_character` is crouching.
`IsOnGround`	Succeeds if this `fort_character` is standing on the ground.
`IsInAir`	Succeeds if this `fort_character` is standing in the air.
`IsInWater`	Succeeds if this `fort_character` is inside water volume.
`IsFalling`	Succeeds if this `fort_character` is in falling locomotion state.
`IsGliding`	Succeeds if this `fort_character` is in gliding locomotion state.
`IsFlying`	Succeeds if this `fort_character` is in flying locomotion state.
`PutInStasis`	Puts this `fort_character` into stasis, preventing certain types of movement specified by `Args`.
`ReleaseFromStasis`	Release this `fort_character` from stasis.
`Show`	Sets this `fort_character` visibility to visible.
`Hide`	Sets this `fort_character` visibility to invisible.
`SetVulnerability`	Control if this `fort_character` can be damaged.
`IsVulnerable`	Succeeds if this `fort_character` can be damaged. Fails if this `fort_character` cannot be damaged.
`TeleportTo`	Teleports this `fort_character` to the provided `Position` and applies the yaw and pitch of `Rotation`. Will fail if the `Position` specified is e.g. outside of the playspace or specifies a place where the character cannot fit.
`GetEntity`	Returns the entity associated with this `fort_character`. Use this when interacting with APIs that require an `entity` reference.
`GetLinearVelocity`	Returns a ‘fort_character’s linear velocity in meters/second.
`SetLinearVelocity`	Set a ‘fort_character’s linear velocity in meters/second. Will not do anything if physics is disabled.
`ApplyLinearImpulse`	Apply a linear impulse to a ‘fort_character’ with units in Newton*seconds. Will not do anything if physics is disabled.
`GetMass`	Returns a ‘fort_character’s mass in kilograms.
`ApplyForce`	Apply a force to a ‘fort_character’ with units in Newtons. Will not do anything if physics is disabled.
