BIK: Full Body IK Solver

[MagicBots]

Thanks man! Yeah parent relative didn’t work when I tried writing my own IK system cause the pawn won’t respect floor collision that way. I ended up writing an offset setup to match collision offset in the expansion plugin to give full roomscale support.
Another way that may work (havn’t tried it) is putting another capsule in the parent relative and putting the pawn in there. That way it runs the pawn how epic designed it still, and would be a bit faster and a bit cheaper than my way. Ill try it when we get the 4.17 version of BIK.
This BIK plugin is great though! Got it running in 4.16 in only like 1-2 hours, super clean.

I had made a setup with body tracking using Ikinema runtime indie before they took away the ability to use trackers with it, and it was working for me by just not using the parent relative attachment component for the skeletal mesh. Though, I was using Simple Character with the expansion plugin which uses the capsule more like epic designed it, I think… Planning to switch to VRCharacter as I impliment BIK, and curious if you were using VRCharacter or SimpleVRCharacter from the expansion plugin? Curious to know what caveats i might run into with a switch to VRCharacter from SimpleVRCharacter if that’s the case.
