Dynamic Gravity Actor Component

Thanks .

As I understand it this would require repulsion from a point acting on X and Y but not Z, just as in your test. I’m looking for this to effect actors including pawns and player characters. I’ve seen your reply to apoisonedgift about Physics and skeletal meshes, but I’m sure there must be a way to get around the limitation somehow.

For a full simulation of the effect I think all the level architecture would need to rotate and an increase in the rotation speed would increase the ‘gravity’ force on the outside according to some standard math. However I think this is probably unrealistic to achieve (prove me wrong if you like!) Instead I intend to rotate the skydome to trick the same appearance rather than rotating the level architecture so the repulsive forces are simpler to implement.

Kevdotward,

I tried to do what you said, but it was not possible. The only way to do that is changing the code of Character Movement Component.
But I figured out how to apply some effects on the character. Please check out the latest video that Gustavo made.

I want to thank you because your comment made me create the repulsion function.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

Dynamic Gravity Actor looks really nice and it would be very useful for my project :). One question though: How AI works with this component? If a bot is using Navmesh and SimpleMoveTo how it will be affected? Simulate Physics is Off, but Enable Gravity is On.

Hi Shrike025,

If you acquire it today it’s not possible, but I just created this feature and many more, please check out the newest video. Gustavo showcased it exactly as you wanted.
It needs to simulate physics only when it is affected by the dynamic gravity force.

Now that’s something that I would seriously consider purchasing. The videos almost sold me. Once the AI has been answered, we shall see…

Hi Yggdrasil,

Thank you for your excitement. Please check out the newest video, it will answer all your questions.
If you’d like to acquire it now it’ll not have this feature, but it’s no problem, because we’re only waiting on Epic’s answers to submit it. But if you don’t want to, you could wait with no fear, after this new version is released the price will remain the same, this is somenthing we’re not willing to change!

Thank you all for commenting and we hope to hear more from you!
