Hi,
I’ve developed a plugin to enable users create vehicles with more than 4 wheels. It’s working so far, you can create the vehicle, play with it, but you can’t animate wheels because of a hard coded limitation from AnimNode_WheelHandler class.
I’m trying to extend this class, which is already a devired class from AnimNode_SkeletalControlBase, but, I’m facing problems that is very difficult to resolve for a new programmer… :rolleyes:
Both, SkeletalControlBase and WheelHandler have virtual functions with override, but if I try to override the function body within my class, I end with linker errors, unserolved external symbol. Even if I remove Initialize function, I got the same errors…And I don’t have idea whats going on here…
If I try to extend it from SkeletalControlBase, I will get new problems, already tried to…
It’s like that I have to extend the whole AnimGraph module just to animate those wheel from my custom class ANWheeledVehicle.
To clarify, here are sources:
And these are my try :

WheelSimulators.AddZeroed(NumOfwheels);
// now add wheel data

const FWheelSetup& WheelSetup = VehicleSimComponent->WheelSetups[WheelIndex];
// set data
WheelSim.WheelIndex = WheelIndex;
